Improvements in the Joined File Split Program (XRBREAK)

In the previous revision, if an error occurred during execution of the Joined File Split Program (XRBREAK), the output file was deleted.
In HULFT for Mainframe higher than Ver.8.4.0, when an error occurred during execution of the Joined File Split Program (XRBREAK), HULFT can now retain all files that are output before the time when the error occurred.
When you execute the Joined File Split Program (XRBREAK), you can now additionally use the other attributes than Record Format, Record Length, and Block Size for output of split files, among attributes retained in the input joined file.
