AST-3270/FTS-C FUNCTIONAL ISSUES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AST Product Marketing has reviewed all of the open issues relating to this
|
||
|
|
product. They have made the decision that the following issues will not be
|
||
|
|
resolved.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This product has been discontinued by AST. No further enhancements will be
|
||
|
|
made to this product.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These issues are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- User cannot upload files to a TSO host properly. If the customer tries
|
||
|
|
to upload information to an existing partitioned data set and a non-
|
||
|
|
existing member, he receives the error message "UNABLE TO TERMINATE
|
||
|
|
INPUT MODE". If neither the data set nor the corresponding member
|
||
|
|
exist on the host, the file transfer will work for the first member
|
||
|
|
only. (PR#A32006)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- User cannot transmit more than one file to the host during a file
|
||
|
|
transfer session. The first file transfers okay, but after entering
|
||
|
|
the second file name, the error message from the host "IKJ56712I-
|
||
|
|
INVALID KEYWORD, LISTDS IKJ560703A-RE-ENTER" is displayed. The file
|
||
|
|
transfer software displays the message "Unable to open dataset".
|
||
|
|
(PR#A32007)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- With FTS-C version 1.31, user is reporting intermittent problems when
|
||
|
|
attempting to upload files of greater than 64K in size. The host is an
|
||
|
|
IBM 4381 running CMS under VM/SP release 5. When FTS-C attempts to
|
||
|
|
close the uploaded file, the error message "NON-RECOVERABLE HOST ERROR,
|
||
|
|
FTS ABORTED" is displayed. (PR#A32011)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- When attempting file transfer on an MVS/XA TSO/ACF2 host, the error
|
||
|
|
message "Unable to list TSO profile" message is received when the file
|
||
|
|
upload is commenced. (PR#A32012)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- When performing file uploads to the host, user says that FTS-C sends
|
||
|
|
screens of data faster than the host can process them. The software
|
||
|
|
does wait for an acknowledgement from the host that the first screen
|
||
|
|
was received, but does not wait to send ensuing screens of data. The
|
||
|
|
host is operating under MVS/XA TSO. (PR#A32013)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- When using FTS-C software with a mainframe configured with TSO/E
|
||
|
|
version 3.0, downloading of files does not occur correctly. Parts of
|
||
|
|
records are either truncated or missing altogether. Problem occurs
|
||
|
|
with files of larger than 10K in size. (PR#A32008)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- "Unrecoverable host errors" occur on a host operating under VM
|
||
|
|
release 5 with a multi-session manager called "VTERM" installed.
|
||
|
|
Errors occur at end of file transfer session as files are being
|
||
|
|
downloaded. (PR#A32014)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Packed record formats are not supported with FTS-C. When the
|
||
|
|
software encounters the LRECL parameter value of "1024" (for packed
|
||
|
|
files) the error message "record length greater than 255" is
|
||
|
|
generated. (PR#A32015)
