Bugs fixed in CIAO 4.4

The following is a list of bugs that were fixed in the CIAO 4.4 software release.

If a filter yields zero rows, the tool returns bad data.  (18 May 2010)

Run twice in a row, the following command returns different, incorrect values. This is due to the fact that there are only 142 rows, so a filter on row number 999 is empty:

unix% dmkeypar file.fits"[#row=999]" col_mod echo+
6104498

unix% dmkeypar file.fits"[#row=999]" col_mod echo+
3552690

unix% dmlist file.fits counts
142 

Negative integer values are not echoed correctly [New] (01 Feb 2012)
(64-bit CIAO builds)

In the 64-bit CIAO builds, retrieving a negative integer value with echo+/echo=yes does not work:

unix% dmkeypar 459_heg_m1.fits TG_M echo+
4294967293 

The value is recorded correctly in the parameter file and may be retrieved with pget:

unix% plist dmkeypar

Parameters for /home/username/cxcds_param4/dmkeypar.par

        infile = 459_heg_m1.fits  Input file name
       keyword = TG_M             Keyword to retrieve
         exist = yes              Keyword existence
         value = )ival -> -3      Keyword value
          rval = 0                Keyword value -- real
          ival = -3               Keyword value -- integer
          sval =                  Keyword value -- string
          bval = no               Keyword value -- boolean
      datatype = integer          Keyword data type
          unit =                  Keyword unit
       comment =                  Keyword comment
         (echo = no)              Print keyword value to screen?
         (mode = ql)              

unix% pget dmkeypar value
