    • BSOMCOLE API. Allows a HLL developer to write a simple program to change entries in the Online Database.
  • MGROPTE command. The MGROPTE (Migrate Optical Entries) command now has the RMVOPTE (remove optical entries) parameter, which provides the option to remove migrated entries from the Optical Catalog.
  • DIRSPLE and DIROUTQ commands. The DIRSPLE and DIROUTQ commands now have the CMBOVPRT (combine overprint lines) option, which allow the option to place all print records with the same line number into the same print record.
