Tranman ... 'RSet' is not allowed on user defined data types. However, thanks to your hint, I noticed that 'LSet' does allow mixed typing. Actually that makes sense. If I need this again, I'll use 'LSet'. Thanks!

PHV - not sure what you mean by 'homework' ... anyway thanks for the correction on 'vbCr' etc. I see now that I was not clear; that was not the issue ... the line RecordVRecd = Record1Recd is the problem. I am getting a mismatched type error, 13 I believe. VB will not let me...

unisysguru Did you get a solution to your socket issues? At the risk of performing solicitation, I am sure we could help you. Gafling

Problem: Write a file of 100 byte records either as binary or text. Use the 'CrLfFlag' flag to determine the output format. Type RecordVType Data As String * 100 Cr As Byte Lf As Byte End Type Dim RecordVRecd As RecordVType Type RecordFType Data As String * 100 End Type Dim...

Do you need to an integrated COBOL and 'c' program? Or would other solutions work. We have custom designed many applications for unix that integrate various COBOLs (RM, Fujitsu, etc) with 'c', 'c++', and other languages to create socket communications servers and clients. It is sometimes...

Yeah, Morrison, I did notice. For this particular problem a solution without PERFORM is impractical and very likely much slower than something like what I wrote. I am not advocating my code as the 'best' solution; you could 'sex it up' by pre-computing the source field length or reference-mod...

Couldn't be easier ... 01 source-field pic x(999). 01 source-index pic 9(004). 01 source-size pic 9(004) value 999. 01 target-field pic x(999). 01 target-index pic 9(004). move spaces to target-field...

'PHV': thank you for the response. You must work for MicroSoft Tech Support as your answer is totally correct but provides no real help. Seriously, I need some tech insight on why the daemons on either system do not seem to get along at times. Is there a version issue such as NFS version x.x...

I am looking for a guru who can delineate the reasonable causes of the huge number of '/var/adm/syslog' messages: Jan 2 09:47:52 xxxxxxxx WARNING: NLM: 4 request to server 110.22.30.8 failed: 8 (errno 118) These messages are usually followed by a message like: Jan 2 09:49:14 xxxxxxxx last...

Does anyone have a running mySQL server on SCO OpenServer 506?? If so, HOW DID YOU DO IT? I cannot successfully get past the 'mysql_install_db' script. It seems there are missing libraries in the binary install acquired from the mySQL web site; and who knows what else. HELP!

If the system continues to try to contact another IP address after you have removed that IP address from use, go to '/etc/sm' and see if that IP address is in a file named 'recover'. If so, set that file size to zero; ie '> recover'.

In my experience, SCO installation has NEVER automatically installed a SCSI tape drive. I have always had to use 'mkdev tape'. In order to use 'mkdev tape', you will have to know which SCSI controller the DLT is attached to, which bus on that controller the DLT is attached to, and the SCSI...

Hello, Kulla. The code I posted has several typo errors which may have confused 'Sebontheweb' leading to his comment #1 but his suggestions about the 'select' verb are correct. 'select' is a more complex but up-to-date way of timing file I-O activities primarily because it is more specific to...

Good questions ... more information is needed. The workstation is on a small LAN serviced by a server that is connected to a cable modem. The server has two NICs, one connected to the local LAN, the other connected to the cable modem. The local LAN computers use static addresses and are...

mainegeek, being VERY familiar with the properties of IE in general and LANs in particuler, I am unaware of a setting that addresses my dilemma. I would appreciate any SPECIFIC information you may have. Or if you know of another solution, please share with us.
