| DESCRIPTION OF ENHANCEMENTS |
This Kernel patch is dependent on MailMan patch XM*7.1*24. Both
during the install process.
-KIDS now creates Packman messages in a format that MailMan can
understand.
-Two options, 'Recover deleted option set' [XQOOREDO] and 'Toggle
options/protocols on and off' [XQOOTOG] are now under 'Out-Of-Order
Set Management' menu.
-Corrects undefined error when 'Compare Transport Global to Current System'
option is queued. NOIS OKL-0296-70233 and LAS-0396-60110
-When a link to Package file doesn't exist during the load process, the
Install file wasn't being updated with a new link during the install
patches must be installed at the same time. This patch contains the
process. This is now corrected.
-The install process will display a message for each CPU it updates. It
use to only display a message for the first one.

OPTIONS:
'Toggle options/protocols on and off' Option name: XQOOTOG

This option is used to write or remove Out-Of-Order messages from
individual options or protocols.
'Recover deleted option set' Option name: XQOOREDO
This option will recover an option set that has been deleted from ^XTMP
by looping through the Option and Protocol Files to find all that have
a particular Out-of-order message. It rebuilds the option set in ^XTMP.
============================================================================
DOCUMENTATION:
-Two new functions, $$PRODE^XPDUTL and $$OPTDE^XPDUTL, can be called
These two functions can be called in a Pre-Init or Post-Init routine to
disable or enable an Option or Protocol.
$$PRODE^XPDUTL(name,action) ;Disable/Enable a Protocol
name=Protocol Name, action= 1-enable, 0-disable
returns: 1-success, 0-failure
$$OPTDE^XPDUTL(name,action) ;Disable/Enable an Option
name=Option Name, action= 1-enable, 0-disable
returns: 1-success, 0-failure
