Issue installing IB*2.0*806

[Benjamin Irwin]

FYI for anyone installing patches on GT.m or YottaDB.

Patch IB*2.0*806 uses a post installation routine (IBY806PO) that calls UPD^IBDFDBS as a subroutine.  However, UPD^IBDFDBS is written as a function.

IRIS/Cache doesn't seem to mind this issue, but GT.m throws an error and stops the installation.

You can just set the environment variable `ydb_zquit_anyway` on YottaDB or `gtm_zquit_anyway` on GT.M (or YottaDB), to `1` or some other true value, and GT.M and YottaDB won't throw that error during the installation.

Thanks David.

Which why I alway write my Quit commands as Q:$Q "" Q,  prevents this issue.

[Benjamin Irwin]

That is interesting.  I had to look up the $Q variable.

I guess I was thinking that functions should be functions and subroutines should be subroutines.

I bypassed the issue by copying the IBDFDBS routine from the vartns directory to the birtns directory.  Then modified the IBDFDBS routine in the birtns directory to be a subroutine, installed the patch, then deleted IBDFDBS.m and IBDFDBS.o from the birtns directory.  See the following link for more information.
