Re: Sockets program adding characters? -- MIDRANGE-L

Ah - the first 10 characters are not an integer data-type, they are a 10-digit number, which can be held in a 4-byte integer variable. That was lending some confusion in this conversation, as I briefly read it.

Thanks for the replies...

The first 10 characters for all their API requests and replies are the total characters. I agree that seems like an unusual number for a byte count, but those are the specs, the vendor's requirements. What I'm sending is an alphabetic string in a variable, of which the first 10 characters happen to be the total.

I have a field called ReqData, 1024 A

The data contained is as follows:

0000000151RATE|CARRIER|PURL|SERICE|AIR|AUDIT_USER|PCL|SFCUSTNUM|0001234567|PKGCNT|1|TERMS|S|S2COUNTRYID|CA|S2CITY|CALGARY|S2STATE|AB|S2PCODE|T2A7W6|WEIGHT|1.00|

I should be receiving back a reply that looks like this

0000001064TRANSTYPE|RATE|ERRCODE|000000000|ERRMSG||S2MAILZONE||SHIPDATE|20071211|
FREIGHT|169.95|CALCFREIGHT|199.96|HAZCHG|0.00|COSCHG|0.00|DECVALCHG|0.00|SATDLVYCHG|
0.00|SATPICKCHG|0.00|..................

Instead it's just sending back 00000000 and when I look on the server, the debug log I provided.

When I do this:

SendAscii(s: ReqData);

Inside my SendAscii procedure, ReqData goes into data, also 1024A

That procedure does this:

len = %len(%trimr(data));
Translate ( len: data: 'QTCPASC' );
return send(sock: %addr(data): len: 0 );

Before the Translate, data is = the entire string above.

It does the translate... Then the send... After the send, the error.
The message in the log:

02/Mar/2011:14:42:31:906 -0500;6124;9;DICom.cpp;InOutProc;INFO;Server could not send data on the socket;ERRCODE|001000011|ERRMSG|Validation of message failed : ðððððððððóÖÒO0000000151RATE|

The e-mail is turning the characters into question marks so let me change them to O's so you can get an idea what this really looks like

02/Mar/2011:14:42:31:906 -0500;6124;9;DICom.cpp;InOutProc;INFO;Server could not send data on the socket;ERRCODE|001000011|ERRMSG|Validation of message failed : ooooooooooOOO0000000151RATE|

Where the first nine o's look like an o with a little squiggle over it, the last o looks like an o with an accent,
The first capital O has two dots over it, the next capital O has an accent over it, and the last capital O is a regular capital O.

It seems to be happening when sent, or the server is giving me an erroneous message.
In debug, at the point of the len in the following...

len = %len(%trimr(data));
Translate ( len: data: 'QTCPASC' );
return send(sock: %addr(data): len: 0 );

At the point immediately prior to the Translate,

data = 0000000151RATE|CARRIER|PURL|SERICE|AIR|AUDIT_USER|PCL|SFCUSTNUM|0001234567|PKGCNT|1|TERMS|S|S2COUNTRYID|CA|S2CITY|CALGARY|S2STATE|AB|S2PCODE|T2A7W6|WEIGHT|1.00|

I even tried this, to make sure nothing weird was happening during the Translate:

(datax is defined same as data)

Translate ( len: data: 'QTCPASC' );
datax = data;
Translate ( len: datax: 'QTCPEBC' );

Translating it to Ascii and then back to Ebsdic

Datax STILL equals
0000000151RATE|CARRIER|PURL|SERICE|AIR|AUDIT_USER|PCL|SFCUSTNUM|0001234567|PKGCNT|1|TERMS|S|S2COUNTRYID|CA|S2CITY|CALGARY|S2STATE|AB|S2PCODE|T2A7W6|WEIGHT|1.00|

Obviously the translation is working fine.

The very next step,

return send(sock: %addr(data): len: 0 );

Is where the server is giving me the message with the goofy O characters before my string.

Thanks,
Charlie
