7327.0. "NFTW pads text file with carriage returns" by GIDDAY::ANDREASEND () Mon Feb 10 1997 17:53

Hello,

I am looking for the patch to NFTW.EXE.

A customer of mine gets the CR padding when copying a text file to
the PW server.

Client is PW95 eco2

I looked for BABOLE::RFA38145.ZIP from successful IPMT HPAQ2B12D but 
BABOLE sems to be unavailable.

Thanks,
Shayne Andreasend

7327.1What is the cfs. number of the IPMT??NETRIX::"[email protected]"S. BalachandarTue Feb 11 1997 00:4916

This looks like another case which is about NULLs being
padded into the transfer. Are you using ASCII or BINARY
type of transfer??. If BINARY what is the record format??
Also specify the type of the server node (VMS/ULTRIX)...

7327.2CFS 38145GIDDAY::ANDREASENDTue Feb 11 1997 20:3112
This case CFS 38145 reported lots of inserted carriage returns whereas my customer
only gets one per file but I would like to try the patched file RFA38145.ZIP anyway.

A case that more closely resembles my customer's problem
is CFS 44392 but this was resolved by engineering placing the 
problem in the QAR queue for a future release.

File transfer type is ASCII to a VMS server

Thanks,

Shayne
7327.3Any news appreciatedGIDDAY::ANDREASENDThu Feb 13 1997 16:396
Any more news on an updated NFTW.exe or updated RFA_DAP.DLL to correct
the problem of inserted carriage returns on ASCII file transfer from
PC to VMS host?

Thanks,
Shayne

    BABOLE is being used as a test machine to investigate a PW NT problem.
    Info. on BABOLE was transferred to \\PWRK_USA\BABOLE according to a
    support person.
7327.6Use latest TIMA KIT patchesJAMIN::TELESETSKYMon Feb 24 1997 13:3012
    
    According to some investigation into our QAR database, it seems that
    many carriage return type problems were resolved in RFA_DAP.* and
    NFTW.exe
    versions later than the v6.0.004 and v6.0.005 releases of these
    components.  
    
    Please use the latest TIMA KIT patches regarding these components since
    the fixes propogate forward and are not just isolated to that one CLD.
