Hi Frank,
Our Unidata version stayed the same when we went to R17, Envision 4.7.1 -
we are on Unidata 5.1 What routines should we be recompiling to fix the
zero byte problem? Thanks for any additional insights you can provide.
Cindy

Cindy,
The problem is that the zero byte for the program has changed. We went to a
new version of Unidata and it did the same thing. Try recompiling the
routines. This should find the correct zero byte and fix the problem.
Frank!

Hi,
We have been on R17, which is also on a new Unix box, for about 8 weeks now
and just recently discovered a problem. When we run queries which include
the FORMAT WP51 command in the download statement, garbage is returned.
Below is a sample of the download code and file contents.
062: GET.LIST XHR.CAFE.SEL1
063: DOWNLOAD HRPER N12.HOME.LABEL N12.HRP.PERSON.SSN HRP.BIRTH.DATE
N12.CDF.BD.
DESC NUM.VALUES ALL FORMAT WP51 FILE &HOLD& CAFEPAGE1S.DAT OVERWRITING
064: COPY FROM _HOLD_ TO OUTGOING CAFEPAGE1S.DAT OVERWRITING
065: CLR
:AE OUTGOING CAFEPAGE1S.DAT
Changed 8805 CHAR(0) to ^Z-E-R-O^
Top of "CAFEPAGE1S.DAT" in "OUTGOING", 3,866 lines, 184,076 characters.
0001: WPCG|^Z-E-R-O^^Z-E-R-O^|
*---: Q
Quit "CAFEPAGE1S.DAT" in file "OUTGOING" unchanged.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what is causing this to happen? Is
it possible that a parameter wasn't set up properly under Unix or someplace
in Colleague? This worked fine in R16 with the 6.0 version of Download.
Any assistance in solving this mystery would be greatly appreciated. Our HR
department uses this process to prepare employee benefit packages and we
need to get this up and running as soon as possible.
Thank you,
