Edward, Clearly I should have added a :-) at the end of the sentence about printing screen-by-screen. I had intended to show that NLDM is not designed for your support need.
Clearly also I should have written "I'd like to encourage you to advise (rather than try) using the NetView Session Monitor (NLDM) trace function with the CPIU (complete PIU) option." in my first post on this topic. It was not until you have replied to this that I appreciated that your need was not the same as the original poster who, as far as I could tell was a typical systems programmer with the possibility of using a NetView session in order to solve his own problems all by himself. Let me assure you that far from a big step backwards the possibility to use CPIU is an enormous step forwards for the sort of person as I imagined the original poster to be looking for rogue characters in his data stream. In the bad old days indeed taking buffer traces was the only way. Then some bright spark in the NLDM shop - possibly with a strong customer requirement breathing down his/her neck - made quite a small change in not necessarily truncating PIUs at 11 bytes of RU data when presenting them in the trace panels. It was a relatively small change since the problem of presenting multiple lines of hexadecimal data had already been solved for session initiation, typically the BIND, and termination RUs - if I remember it all correctly. I kept having to encourage my students to use point NLDM TRACE CPIU during my hands-on classes so I can only suppose that they had missed the enhancement when it appeared. Probably CPIU was buried in a mass of other enhancements in the NetView release which introduced it. Chris Mason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward E.
