I'd have to agree. If it's important, you should not be using unreliable means to input data.
There are so many points of failure, worse than losing data it could be corrupting data. I wouldn't want to be the one to explain that to external auditors or angry workers whose payroll got "glitched" in a cut 'n' paste operation! :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Bartlett Sent: Tuesday, 26 February 2008 7:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] Type ahead buffer overflow Can't you simply paste into a text file in a type 1 directory, and then read and process the input? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Dodds Sent: 25 February 2008 07:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] Type ahead buffer overflow Or something like that. 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.
