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? -- Kind regards, -Steve Comstock ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
