Hey
folks. I'm moving some text files to an RSX system via DECnet
under Linux. The files on the RSX system are not readable; I get
"illegal record size" when trying to type them.
Has anyone hit this? I assume there's a simple solution..
What are the RMS attributes? (I don?t know how to ask RSX to show
those, unfortunately.) A possible way to get this would be a file
with ?no-span? records and recordsize > 512.
I don't know how to ask RSX for that...I used to be a heavy user of
RSX, but that was in the 80s; I seem to have forgotten nearly
everything. :-(
This is basically a wild guess... Have you tried to change the line terminators of your
files at the Linux side? Try to convert them to 'DOS' style and see what happens.
If the RSX FAL looks for a CR to split the records and it does not find it perhaps the
result could be just what you are observing.
I have no problem with hitting the books; I'm
generally pretty
self-sufficient in that regard, but I'm about to load these machines
onto a truck and take them to VCF, so I'm just short of time. Things
have gotten a bit less stressful about that since some hardware (not the
11/34) has started to behave, and now it looks like some of the machines
will be on HECnet during the show, so I'll be able to get some software
on them then.
