: Thanks for your help guys but I have still not been able to rectify
: the problem.
:
: I actually replicatated the ATOE, ETOA, TATOE and TETOA tables to
: match our previous working version of Kermit-TSO. My reson for doing
: this is that I thought if I could get the tables to match the old
: version of Kermit-TSO then it should work in the new version of
: Kermit-TSO 4.3.2.
:
: Am I correct in thinking this?
:
It depends. The key points are that (a) the VTAM tables must be invertible,
and (b) Kermit's tables must match the VTAM tables.
: Do you have any other sugestions that I could try to get this working.
:
First confirm points (a) and (b) above. If transfers still do not work,
send email to kermit-support@columbia.edu detailing your setup -- which
Kermit program you have on the other end, what kind of connection you have,
how you are entering the mainframe (linemode, fullscreen, and if fullscreen,
which kind of protocol converter), and include a packet log.
