ALL-IN-1 V2.4 WPSPLUS V4.0 Interactively, the customer enters the following: <copy "oa$lib:v4_demo.wpl" "TT:" txt$copy_print starting on line 24 receives: - eps third demo tab - eps third demo tab TOP [border] Problem with COPY function - file "TT:" The customer and some support people feel this is an error with the txt$copy_print dsab and/or the copy function and WPSPLUS control blocks. I am not convinced this is the case. I need to know what exactly txt$copy_print is supposed to do. Below are some tests and results. All comments are appreciated! (1) <copy "oa$lib:v4_demo.wpl" "tim.txt" - writes to file with no problems (2) <copy "oa$lib:v4_demo.wpl" "TT:" txt$copy_print - displays contents of control blocks then puts out error message %oa-e-nocopy.(see above) (3) <copy "oa$lib:v4_demo.wpl" "TT:" txt$copy_print txt$wps_plus - gives same result as (2) (4) <copy "oa$lib:v4_demo.wpl" "tim.txt" txt$copy_print - gives same %oa-e-nocopy and writes contents of control block info to file tim.txt. (5) <copy "oa$lib:v4_demo.wpl" "tt:" - works (6) <copy "oa$lib:v4_demo.wpl" "tt:" txt$print txt$wps_plus - works the same output as (5)

| 890.1 | TXT$COPY_PRINT = LP11 formating | SHALOT::WARFORD | Richard Warford @OPA DTN 393-7495 | Wed Jun 17 1992 22:42 | 7 |
txt$copy_print is set up to produce LP11 formatted output. I would
guess that this output is incompatible with the TT: device that
you are using. (Some of the carriage controls perhaps?) Or it might
even be the use of strange fonts, superscripts, subscripts... that
the LP11 format won't handle.

| 890.2 | TXT$COPY_PRINT | IOSG::NEWLAND | Richard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4A | Thu Jun 18 1992 15:30 | 15 |
TXT$COPY_PRINT is an output text dataset which creates output files in 'LP11' format. LP11 is a format which is similar to ASCII TEXT but also supports underlining and bolding by doing overstriking. The problems you have seen would appear to be in the TXT$COPY_PRINT dataset, because other output datasets such as TXT$DSAB_ASCII can be used and a <LIST OA$LIB:V4_DEMO.WPL also works. V4_DEMO.WPL is a complex document which uses most of the new features of WPS-PLUS V4 and I presume contains something which TXT$COPY_PRINT is unable to, but should, handle. Please submit an SPR.
