CA for NT questions

[Mark Burns <burnsmt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've got a couple of issues with CA running under NT 4 that I'd like to
raise.

We have two 400's & I am able to Telnet OK between them & I can access
them from a PC using Anynet. However when we try to use native TCP/IP
either via CA or a Telnet emulator it doesn't work. I've managed to
trace the problem to the Telnet server job on the 400, QTGTELNETS. When
I look at this job log I get a CPF8940 "Cannot automatically select
virtual device" error. The help for this indicates that we don't have a
virtual device available but there are in fact several on the 400 (& in
fact when I Telnet from the other 400 one of these virtual devices is
selected). We have autocreate turned off for virtual devices but I tried
temporarily setting this to 10 & it made no difference.

My other issue relates to file transfers. We have a file with over 256
fields which I can download (via Rumba or PC5250) and it creates a .FDF
file OK. However when I try & use the .FDF to go the other way I get an
error saying that you can't use more then 256 fields. If I try sending
it without using the .FDF I just get a timeout (presumably for the same
reason?). The file is a comma seperated variable one so transferring it
up as one field & then using CPYF isn't really an option. I'm trying to
get a non CSV version but I'm not sure if they'll be able to pad out
the  fields with extra zeroes and spaces yet.

Any suggestions on either problem would be most appreciated.
