RE: Re: VMFPLC2 DUMP malfunction in sixpack 1.2 environment

I think you need to fix you oorexx code. If you look in the original file

./ I  01708930 $  1708940 10                          07/13/10 10:06:58

 INSERTING...    * We update the "VM/370" message on the logo screen as
well.  .. 01708940
                          L     R1,FMT77CCW      get address of big logo
screen HRC370DK   01708950
                          MVC   8(1,R1),INSTWRD1       zap with 7 or 8 from
PSA HRC370DK 01708960 

is the last four lines in the end of the file. You are trying to parse the
garbage in the end of the last block.
VMFPLC2 ALWAYS writes a full block. You need to look in the parms block to
see where the last file ends.
If you search you will find that the line deleting comment:-

"LOGOSIZE EQU   FMTLOGO+6"

occurs 100 lines previous, and as the file is 800-byte fixed blocks on disk
I make that one block back.

P.S. The "C" code in the 

http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/H390-VM/files/PC%20Utilities/

has some code that does this. It also reads the file properley.
