I am trying to debug a program in Xpediter (and MPP that I'm running via the BTS option in Xpediter).

I am calling an in-house program that works fine when the transaction is sent in via a Rexx program to IMS (so it shouldn't be a problem with the in-house code that is old and stable).

What I notice is that if the length of my BTS transaction is 28338 bytes, the in-house code works fine. If I send in the same transaction (with a bit more data) and the resulting length is 34547, then all sorts of things go wrong.

I'm guessing that it has to do with the magic 32k boundary somewhere. Does anyone know if there's a parm I can tweak to try and increase the buffer allocated/allowed ?

Here are my BTS cards:-
Code:

./O TSOMLVL=1 TSOSQL=NO                                         
./* NEXT LINE WILL REMOVE ALL DL/I ETC TRACES FROM THE SCREEN   
./* ./O TSO=YES TSOMLVL=0 MSG=NO TSODB=NO DB=NO                 
./D DDOF=NONE TPBUF=99999 EOM=$ EOS=ü                           
./T TC=MTO      PLC=0                                           
./T TC=MTOPRINT PLC=0                                           
./P MBR=BTSCOM00 PA=000C14 PC=DB2T                             
./T TC=SEP11099 TYPE=SCS1                                       
./T TC=PM767200 MBR=M7672000 PSB=M7672000 PLC=3

I don't think it was an Xpediter limit, rather an IMS segment limit.

I solved the problem by tweaking an existing program that I use as a "bootstrap" program. What this does is to read in the BTS cards, string them together, split them into segments of 32K if the length is more than 32K and then insert these segments onto the IOPCB.

After than, our home grown program is quite happy to read these segments and string them together to one looooooong transaction.

misio1,

The preview works fine for me. Can you clear your cache and try it again?

Preview is busted for me when I edit mis01's original and then Preview. Blank preview box with signature present, all text removed from input box.

This post I'm making now is previews fine.

I think it is only limited to misi01 posts. Any other user's first post(tested with all the active posts) can be previewed. He seems to have an older cache/cookies which is turning off the preview.

On that post, it seems to be this "character" messing things up.

Code:

Thanks William. I Think you nailed it. Looks like the software doesn't handle Unicode characters. In one his older post where misi01 had a similar issue it was this character

Code:

°

and in another case it is

Code:

Ö

Okay, I'll change my BTS cards to use the pound sign as the EOS character so preview works Very Happy
