RE: Re: IND$FILE

Yup
 
I did that - So I got the CUT  mode but the other stuff was the problem
especially the LRECL and RECFM
 
If you dont choose variable then every record has to be the same size in the
output file
 
Thats the error you got last night

Hi Rocky,
press the Options button in VISTA then 'Options' in the little menu that
displays; press button 'Misc' where you can choose DFT or CUT (deselecting
DFT mode) and add RECFM V in Additional parameters.

In this way I could upload a small exec file to GCIC application.

Doing a download with VM/SP5 I get 1936 bytes blocks in CUT mode (using an
Ethereal Ethernet trace).

Regards.
