Miscellaneous bug fixes in the FileMan lookup ^DIC routines
by Gary Beuschel on a local message at the San Francisco ISC.
routines are heavily used in DHCP applications.
6. AXP Sites - Place TaskMan in a WAIT State.
OpenM/Cache Sites - STOP TaskMan.
7. On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the
following option:
Select Installation Option: Install Package(s)
Select INSTALL NAME: DI*22.0*17

Answer 'NO' to 'Want to DISABLE Scheduled Options, Menu Options,
and Protocols?
8. AXP Sites - After the patch has been installed, rebuild your map
set, if necessary.
9. AXP Sites - Remove TaskMan from WAIT State.
Routines: DIC, DIC1
OpenM/Cache Sites - Restart TaskMan.
10. Enable users' login.
===================
Make the "Y" flag in DIC(0) work the same as it did in version 21. This
undocumented flag is supposed to make ^DIC return a list of entry numbers
that match the lookup value in Y(n) where 'n' is an IEN. The FIND^DIC call
is now a better way to do the same thing. Reported by Lucille Barrios on a
FORUM mail message.
Routines: DICLIX1, DICU11
=========================
I found during my testing that in cases where the Lister decides to build
a temporary index on a pointer or variable pointer because it's the
fastest way to return the list in order, I needed to save the internal
pointer or variable pointer on the temporary list, in case the user asked
to have it returned in the output.
Routine: DICA
=============
Routines: DIC1, DIC2, DIC3
With the "E" flag, UPDATE^DIE assumes that the values passed in the FDA
are in external form. Also, for LAYGO/Finding (?+) nodes, the value of the
.01 field is used as a lookup value to see if an existing record should be
edited, or a new record added. Prior to this change, the Updater used the
internal form of the .01 as a lookup value, rather than the external form.
If the .01 is a pointer or variable, this meant the lookup would fail. For
DINUM'd pointers, this resulted in the Dialog error message #302, "Entry
'xxx' already exists" to be returned.

Installation Instructions:
==========================
** It is HIGHLY recommended that ALL Users and VISTA Background jobs to be
index with no transforms. I.e., the code expects the lookup value to be an
STOPPED. Failure to do so may result in a 'source routine edited' error,
the edits will be lost and records may be left in an inconsistent state.
**
1. AXP sites: Review your mapped routine set. If any of the
routine(s) listed in the ROUTINE SUMMARY section are mapped, they should
be removed from the mapped set at this time.
2. Use the 'INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE' option on the PackMan menu. This
option will load the KIDS package onto your system.

The environment check routine DIENVWRN will run automatically.
Routine DIENVWRN is sent in order to prevent the inadvertent queuing
during the installation of this patch.
3. The patch has now been loaded into a transport global on your
system. You now need to use KIDS to install the transport global.
4. On the KIDS menu, under the 'Installation' menu, use the
following options:
a match, and will not try to convert the lookup value in any way. Reported
Print Transport Global
Compare Transport Global to Current System
Verify Checksums in Transport Global
Backup a Transport Global
5. Inhibit users' login into the system. The consequence of having
users on the system while installing this patch are that users editing
records will get a 'source routine edited' error, the edits will be lost
and records may be left in an inconsistent state. Note that most of these
