Dear MCC developers ( and other) out there,
I am trying to solve a indentation output format problem that
exist in VAX DetMCC/VMS. If for example one do the following:
DetMCC> define kalle aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
DetMCC> displ symb
The output will be:
Symbol Name Symbol Value
----------- ------------
KALLE : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
As you all can see the last of the symbol is not indented in the
correct manner.
I first thought that the problem was that all output from the process
running MCC was done to a mailbox ( input done using the pseudo driver)
so I changed it so all communication was using the pseudo driver
instead but got still the same problem.
I doesn't help to setup the pseudo driver to be a Vt100/vt200/vt300
tab/nota/wrap/nowrap/crfill/nocrfil/scope etc etc etc.
So I inserted a breakpoint in the server process that does the
communication beatween the MCC process to see what I realy got from
MCC ( ->PSEUDODRIVER->SERVER process) and found that when it's time
to do a wrap e.g CR/LF and fillup with spaces to the indentation
position it doesn't exist any spaces at all, just the CR/LF.
record: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaCRLFaaaaaaaaaaaaa
So where are the spaces ?????
The questions for you that like to help me:
1) Do anyone of you out there have any id� what to do now ???
2) How is DECmcc doing the output ( with SMG or ??) ???
3) Does it exist any state where DECmcc deside not to do the
identation ????
4) If DECmcc is using SMG can the problem be in SMG ????
5) Can the problem be in the PSEUDO driver ????
( It can't be something wrong with my code, can it ;-)
Something that is realy funny with this problem is that if we define
the symbol to be longer e.g.
DetMCC> define kalle aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
DetMCC> disp symb
Symbol Name Symbol Value
----------- ------------
KALLE : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The indenation seems to be correct at the end again ??!?!?!?!?
Please help me because I am stuck !!!!!!!!

Ralf T.

More info...
It seems to be that the MCC "thinks" that the terminal width is 132 char
as it writes out 90 characters before writing the indentation spaces.
( 90+42=132 ( 42= default indenation in MCC))
But why ??? The process running MCC is communicate thrue pseudoterminal
DetMCCInpPSEUDO and DetMCCOutPSEUDO:
