RE: RE: IND$FILE

Mike
 
I have made some changes to the IND$file emulation.
 
It's still not working 100% with the VISTA emulator but at least it now
uploads the files.
They  are just unintelligable on the MF
 
With some of the other emulators it's working fine.
Appears to be a problem with the translation tables.
 
I may have some news about that over the weekend
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only the CUT mode and only Upload at present. Want to work out the bugs
before we go further.
 
Mike you are correct - 
You can use RECFM and LRECL nnn paramters in the VISTA parameters. (Options)
Its defaluting to CRLF and Ascii is an Emulator issue - as far as I can
tell.
 
If you don't enter them,  I default it to Variable 130.
 
Each Emulator and its own quirks
Actually enjoy using the VISTA - Very nice tool
 
It's dumping a lot  less now - We still have lots of exceptional conditions
to handle in the File transfer.
Pretty complicated because the various Emulators take and return control
differently
Has anybody tested with the X3270 Emulator?
or anythig oher than VISTA?
 
But the files Make it to the MF, Which is a big step forward.

Well it's a "whopping" $30 bucks :/

There's online help, which under File Transfer / IND$file options
shows all of the things you mentioned (I think .. I didn't check them
all). You have to pass them as arguements (one time only) in the
transfer / options / additional parameters field. (the parameters
will be remembered from session to session)

I just had to re-install Win XP, I'll take a look at what you've been
up to with the IND$file
