Communication Log : Can we still write to one?

[emo...@my-dejanews.com]

Hi,

I'm new to procomm script writing.
We're converting some DOS procomm scripts to Procomm v4.7 (Windows).
Some old commands have been scrapped, like "Log open" and "log close".

The connection log of the new procomm doesn't offer any important details
like what file was uploaded or downloaded.

The online help is void of any information on how to do this with the
new version.

Does anyone out there know how to accomplish this?

Your help would be much appreciated!!!

I pulled out my trusty DOS ASPECT manual and it looks like the LOG command in
that version of Procomm is somewhat similar to the CAPTURE command in the
Windows versions of Procomm. Take a look at that command and see if it does
what you are looking for.

Hi Dominique,

you happened to be our customer. Just at the following section into the script
issue.was :

; ***** capture file - it replace the old "log open" command *****
string cap_file="rbc.cap"
set capture file cap_file
capture on
...
do the transfer etc....
...
;*** put the following at the end, before HANGUP command
capture off

good luck
