It may be that there is a console entry other than "END" or "SUMMARY" that is already queued when the EXT is reflected. If that is so, I think (IIRC) that the RETRIEVE would resume its recording. Have you tried tracing the EXT to see if it is being reflected?

Why it doesn't work: have you looked at the console of the ECPAPM system? The only reason for a failure I can see is that the ECPAPM user is executing another CP command when you issue the CP SEND. Or, the stuff running in ECPAPM might decide not to react to the External interrupt. 2007/9/25, Schuh, Richard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: OK, it is just excess baggage.

'CP SEND CP ECPAPM EXT' should suffice as it is specified that the command sent will be a CP command. If being sent from the command line, the first CP is not needed; if from an EXEC with ADDRESS COMMAND, it is required.
