Is it losing data at the end, or dropping characters in the middle? If the latter, check your emulation software and see if you can either slow down the data transfer rate, or insert pauses every so often. I think ViaDuct has an options, for example, for the data transmit rate (in it's communications setup) as well as a setting to pause after a user-defined number of characters in its file transfer setup. I have found the data transmit rate setting to be very useful back when I used to cut-and-paste programs from Windows to UV.

We have a client that uses a paste from Windows into an input statement, within a UniBasic program, to enter data. The string get quite large and in the transmission from VMS to Unix AIX 5.2 running UniData 7.10 we are losing data. We have played with the terminal emulator as much as possible, but we still lose data coming from Windows into UniData. We have set the sty to utilize xon/xoff, but still we lose data. Is there a way to increase the type ahead buffer so we won't overrun it. The data string could contain multiple pages. Or does anyone have a solution other then changing terminal emulators, that is out of the question at this installation.
