When I package support files for course labs, I have
for many years used XMIT, then download as binary to
my workstation. Over the years Xmit manager has been
a valuable tool to examine such files.
Today I wanted to look at member in a PDS in XMIT
format and Xmit manager gives these messages:
-------------------------------------------------------
An error has occurred while decoding the xmit file!
Error while decoding
Member directory blocks
and the Details:
End of directory block should contain 12 binary zeros
Information obtained at the point of error:
Current xmit record length is 255 bytes
Current xmit record type is x00
Current file offset is 3720
Xmit File size is 572400
Use the Debug option to provide a format dump of the xmit file for further
diagnosis.
------------------------------------------------------
The Debug option didn't help me.
I repeated the process, just to make sure everything
was correct, but got the same error sequence.
The XMIT file is good (a RECEIVE unpacks the file just fine).
I also tried opening some other files in using Xmit manager
and they opened fine.
Any suggestions?
