 NOIS OVERVIEW
 =============
 1. ISF-1100-60379     A 'Heads Up' Input Transform and Leakage of %DT(0)
  
    Problem:
    --------
    Possible problems will occur when converting external to internal dates
    when setting %DT(0). If %DT(0) is not cleared, then the next date
    conversion will also use the %DT(0) setting to convert external to
    internal dates.
  
    Solution:
    ---------
    The variable %DT(0) will be killed after the execution of ^%DT in the
    following:
  
        Routines
        --------
        ESPUCF
        ESPUCR
        ESPWR
  
        Files                                      Fields
        -----                                      ------
        ESP POLICE REGISTRATION LOG (910.2)        DATE ASSIGNED (.05)
        ESP WANTS AND WARRANTS (913)               WARRANT DATE (1.04)
        ESP VIOLATIONS (914)                       DATE/TIME OF OFFENSE (.02)
  
 2. SAJ-1000-72748     Will Not Accept Future Dates.
  
    Problem:
    --------
    When a user enters an evidence record number while using the Create/Edit
    Evidence/Property Record [ESP EVIDENCE/PROPERTY ADD/EDIT] option, it
    reflects back to the user as a date.  This does not affect how the data
    is stored, but is confusing to the user.
  
    Solution:
    ---------
    To prevent the evidence record number from displaying as a date, a change
    will be made to the ESP EVIDENCE/PROPERTY ADD/EDIT entry in the OPTION
    (#19) file.  The DIC(0) (#31) field which is currently set to "AEMQL"
    will be changed to "AEMQLU".  By adding the "U", FILEMAN is prevented
    from transforming any fields that are used for lookup.

  1.  Choose the PackMan message containing this patch and invoke the 
      INSTALL/CHECK MESSAGE PackMan option.
  
  2.  (DSM for Open VMS sites only) Disable routine mapping on all systems
      for the routines listed in the Routine Summary.
   
      NOTE:  If the routines included in this patch are not currently
      in your mapped routine set, please skip this step.
   
  3.  Start up the Kernel Installation and Distribution System Menu 
      [XPD MAIN]: 
    
           Edits and Distribution ...
