3562.0. "DCL copy and ALL-IN-1 Copy" by UTRTSC::SMEETS (Look at the ALL-IN-1 side of life) Mon Nov 22 1993 13:53

Hi,

ALL-IN-1 V3.0-1

Customer it trying to send files from ALL-IN-1 to a SUN station running 
UNIX and DNI SUNLINK via DT SV. The result of this action is an empty file on
the UNIX station.

DNI SUNLINK is among others able to translate a VMS directory specification to
a valid UNIX specification, including upper and lower case characters.

Copying the same file at DCL level via the COPY function works ok. I've noticed
that the DXSV script uses the ALL-IN-1 COPY/FILE function to copy a file.

Two questions: 

1. What's the difference between DCL COPY and ALL-IN-1 COPY ?

2. Is there a workaround for this problem ?

Thanks in advance,

Martin

	A DT SV operation does not always use a COPY/FILE, because it is capable of converting or formatting depending on the type of input document and output file. What type of document is being transferred and what type of file is being created? Richard

	Hi Richard, The customer didn't told me the whole story. What he's actualy trying to do is to print a document to a file. so, document destination = VMS-FILE, PRINT STYLE = PS File name is filespec on SUN system. When He found out that this didn't work he tried to copy a Postscript file via DT SV to the SUN system. He received the error message Error copying file "". Martin

	A Print to FILE will do an ALL-IN-1 COPY/FILE to copy the final-form file to output file (WPPFILE script). Are there any further errors in the Message buffer displayed if you type Gold-W? What is the syntax of the output file specification? Richard

Just a valid VMS file specification e.g. NODE::[directory]filename.extension. The DNI SUNLINK product is able to translate the VMS spec. to a valid UNIX spec. Martin
3562.5	COPY/FILE errors?	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Tue Nov 23 1993 10:19`	17
	Do you get any further errors if you do a <COPY/FILE 'in-file' 'out-file' operation interactively? An ALL-IN-1 COPY/FILE operation doesn't do much other than call RMS to open the files and read and write the contents of those files. It's going to be difficult to investigate this further without code level debugging. You asked in an earlier reply if there was a workaround. A workaround would be to create a new Printer Destination (e.g. SUNFILE) which calls a print completion script based on WPPFILE but which uses DCL COPY instead of ALL-IN-1 COPY/FILE. Richard
