Re: Question about lp5250d and SCS2ASCII

Hi Again, i've made the scs dump as suggested.
Building it i've discovered that the file get splitted only if i use the
HPT, so using a standard printer with NO HPT will output only one file.
But setting it to ex: *LEXOPTRAC make the emulator split the output
file(means that scs2ascii will not be part of the problem?).
I've them ready ( cleaned of some private data for our privacy), but where i
have to send them?
Thanks.
Ciao.
Alberto.

To me, the problem seems to be in the way lp5250d reads the SCS stream.
He says it's chopping the data into multiple files when it shouldn't
-- and that would imply that it's happening when the SCS is generated,
not when scs2ascii processes the output.

So I'm not sure dumping the raw SCS to disk would help much?

That could be. But a raw dump would definitely point to either lp5250d or
scs2*. Maybe not useful other than definitively answering that point.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
