3378.0. "WPS-PLUS/DOS doc transfer to IOS 3.0" by GIDDAY::LEH () Mon Oct 11 1993 06:41

IOS 3.0 just upgraded from  2.4

WPS-PLUS DOS 4.1 had error

        Terminal is not workstation that supports EZCOM

when TE to a VAX host and using DT RD to import a PC doco to the IOS filecab

This PC does have SET $DX$=1 in AUTOEXEC.BAT, which enables the DX transfer 
between PC and VAX

Next required changes I found were in DXRD.SCP and DXSD.SCP in OA$DO_SHARE

    .IF OA$TERMINAL_DECCRT3 NES "1" THEN .GOTO GET_DETAILS
to
    .IF OA$TERMINAL_DECCRT3 EQS "1" THEN .GOTO GET_DETAILS
                            ^^^
Recompiling the TXL did in fact make the transfer work.

The only snag is WPS-PLUS DOS 3.* still unable to do transfer although the 
script changes worked for WPS-PLUS DOS 4.*; a summarized chart on 
what's-working-with-what as follows:

WPS-PLUS/DOS		IOS		Status of Doc Transfer

3.1			2.4		OK
3.1			3.0		error

4.1			2.4		OK
4.1			3.0		OK after script changes

Thanks for ideas (X-posted in ALL-IN-1 and WPS-PLUS)

3378.1	terminal type mismatch	UTRTSC::SMEETS	Martin, CSC Office support (NL)	`Tue Oct 12 1993 12:24`	15
	Hong, In the past I had the same error message. The error is caused by a terminal type mismatch ! See If your terminal setup in WPS-PLUS/DOS (=SETHOST) matches your VMS terminal setup. So the devicetype which you see when doing $SHOW TERM in the ALL-IN-1 session should be the same as within SETHOST. Regards, Martin

	ALL-IN-1 V3.0: Document Transfer Error Occurs Since Upgrading to V3.0 Since upgrading to ALL-IN-1 V3.0, users have been unable to use the Document Transfer utility to transfer documents to their PC's--running WPS-PLUS for DOS V4.1--without generating: "Your terminal does not support EZcomm." If the terminal type is set to anything other than VT200, (e.g., VT300) document transfer will not work under ALL-IN-1 V3.0. Therefore, set the terminal type accordingly.
3378.3	IOS V3.0A --> WPSDOS V3.1 --> IOS V3.0A lost print settings	COPCLU::COPLE4::GLARGAARD	Allan Glargaard, DS @DMO	`Thu Dec 16 1993 13:06`	48
	Re: .0, Hong I second your observation that document transfer from WPS-PLUS/DOS V3.1 to ALL-IN-1 IOS V3.0A does not work. To be more specific: A document is transfered from ALL-IN-1 IOS V3.0 to WPS-PLUS/DOS V3.1, specifying that an older version of WPS-PLUS/DOS is used. This works. Lets say that document number 9 is created this way. The same, untouched document, ie. number 9, is now transfered back to ALL-IN-1 IOS, and apparently everything is ok. Except when I try to print the document. I get a "Left and right delimiters cannot be equal" (in danish of course, symbol APN_ERR_DELIM_UNIQUE from WPLMESS.MSG). The same happens if I try to save the print settings for the document. Investigating further, I see the following interesting differences between my original print settings and the print settings after the two document transfers: Field: Before: After: Sideskiftszone (antal linier): 0 1 Remove blank lines from top: J N Max consecutive hyphenations: 3 0 Punctuation character: . <blank> Language: DANSK <blank> Stop positon for punctuation: 5 0 Punctuation characters: .,-:;'" -:;'"5- Automatic hyphenation (J/N): N J Note: the punctuation character string contains three <nul> characters in front of the "5-" Any ideas? Best regrads, Allan PS A workaround is to change the print settings of the received document to your standard print settings, but it is extra work for the end user.
