Agreed, a UD DIR-type file (called type 19 in UV) in the middle might solve the issue nicely. Instead of an input statement, the UniBasic program would simply read the record from the DIR-type file.
The heavy lifting involves passing the data into the DIR-type file. Several possibilities come to mind, such as SAMBA, NFS, pasting into an AIX editor, or the Unix cat command.

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. <snip> Thanks Tom Dodds ----------------------------------------- This e-mail and any attachments may contain CONFIDENTIAL information, including PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION.
