A customer uses an IRMA board, and runs an application called
Omni-Link. Our application produces an ascii file containing 600 -
1000 lines of about 1500 characters each. The customer then hits
the hot-key sequence to bring up the IRMA software, logs into his
IBM mainframe looking like a 3270 terminal, and runs Omni-Link to
transfer the ascii file up to the host.
Omni-Link apparently runs to completion, and then displays a message
that the transfer is complete, and that 68% (or so) of the file was
transferred. Some days, it transfers 100% of the file. When less
than the whole file is sent, it causes much grief!
My question: Does anybody know what's happening on those days when
we get less than a full transfer? If the file transfer utility
knows that it is supposed to copy the entire file, and if it knows
that it didn't, why doesn't it finish the job? The interactive
login session is still up when the incomplete transfer ends.
