Gentlemen:
 
I'm not here with a problem. T-Dumps and loads are working just fine for my customer conversion project. 
 
However, there is a bug in the T-load routine, in that if one uses a terminal emulator to run the program, the last item in the list of items being load does not display, nor do any of the prompts.  The work-around, of course is to use jshell.
 
I guess one of the reasons I never got rich is that I always fixed any bugs in my system, because I didn't want anybody saying bad things about my program.  This little problem has been around for a long time, and I guess it will never get fixed now that vers 4 and 5 are out.  Wondering if it has followed the new versions or has been repaired in them.

I don't see this behavior, tested on jBASE 3.4.10 using PuTTY, AccuTerm and SecureCRT. Can you provide a screen shot?

What telnet client are you using?

I'm using Netterm and have been using it for 100 years.  I have attached a screen shot of the T-LOAD LIST.  Last item on the dump was 4571 WB21M165, that does not show on the LOAD, and the load process just stops here, although I can enter the "C" to continue or "Q" to quit the process.  I have also enclosed a screen shot of my TERM settings showing 23 lines.  I have Netterm set to 24.
 
I have tried ACCUTERM also with same results.  Am running 3.4.10 on XP-PRO  sp3

My guess would be this is a T-DUMP from a D3 machine and that after the T-DUMP you did not do a T-WEOF.   Try the T-DUMP followed by a T-WEOF and it will probably work

Actually this is T-DUMP from a PICK R83 system.  However,  there are about 14 floppies involved in the whole file, so I can't interupt the process to do a WEOF.  As I said, using jshell works just fine so I will go with that.  Thanks for your help

Dave,

 

Sorry Dave, there was no mention in your post that this was disk 1 of 14 or that this was not the last item, but the last item on a disk of a multiple disk t-dump.  “However, there is a bug in the T-load routine, in that if one uses a terminal emulator to run the program, the last item in the list of items being load does not display, nor do any of the prompts”  Have you tried changing the TERM depth?

Yes, I think I have tried every permientation to the process.  I just hadn't attempted this process for a number of years and had forgotten about this little quirk.  One can use the treminal emulator path, but just have to remember to visualize the prompts and respond accordingly.  Or, as I said, one can use jshell.  It works.
 
Dave.
