To all, Some time ago I had a mysterious problem dealing with IND$FILE with symptoms similar to what you are having, although, mine was with CICS also. The problem that I encountered was with a getmain for storage to build additional messages. It turned out that the getmain was for 0 bytes and that wouldn't work. I had the source at the time and inserted my own check for 0 bytes and bypassed the getmain which allowed it to go to EOJ. I don't know whether this is the same, but that problem exhibited no symptoms at all and it was just plain luck that I found the error. I don't know if this is germane to the subject, but it was an undiscovered bug with the product. Even though it's been around a long time, you may be encountering a problem that heretofore has gone unreported. Just trying to help. Fred Hoffman

I created a 24 record file with 1234567890 repeated for 80 characters and asked the client to test. This time he says the file transfer doesn't issue messages but also doesn't upload the file to the host. It completes but the CMS file is not there. Again, this only happens with the combination of CA-TPX and TCP/IP for VM. When he tries with CA-TPX and SNA it works. The same settings for the emulator (same size screen, etc...) How could the same 3270 datastream cause this? They have their terminal set up as a model 5 My only thought is that it must be how the device appears to VM/VTAM. For SNA, it is a remote device. When he is on SNA and TPX and I display the user I see: Termid: TX262144 Model: PC92-5AG Logmode: SNX32705 I have no idea where it gets that PC92-5AG model info from. Would you or anyone else know? Then when he creates a virtual terminal session on TPX he gets: Session Applid Status VTermid --Status Flags---Appl.Logmode VM2 VM <== ACTIVE TPXGR052 00000000 400010C1 T3278M2E This application logmode of T3278M2E is a CA-TPX one and when I do a 'CP Q' on his CMS user I see him on TPXGR052. For TCP/IP for VM, there is a DIAL VTAM and I set the DLOGMOD to D4B3290. I think I have tried different DLOGMOD's (NSX32705) and even asked them to configure as a Model 2 but still no go. The SNA DLOG of SNX32705 looks like this: SNX32705 MODEENT LOGMODE=SNX32705,FMPROF=X'03',TSPROF=X'03', PRIPROT=X'B1',SECPROT=X'90',COMPROT=X'3080', RUSIZES=X'87F8', PSERVIC=X'02800000000018501B847F00' I'm not much of a VTAM maven. Is there anything in that macro related to file transfer? Is there something I can use to replace IND$FILE with? I suggested native VM (whick works) and also ftp (but that's a hassle with write access to their A-disk) but they prefer the way they always work (but just with TCP/IP). Wednesday, I'll be visiting the client and be screwing around with DLOGMOD's etc... Regards, Mike
