I'm using Kermit 8.0.209 under VMS 7.3-2
I receive a ziped archive of files which are created on a system using code
page 850. I need the data to be iso-latin1. Kermit translates the
characters correctly using the command translate source-file cp850
latin1-iso translated-file. The problem is that Kermit breaks up records
that are longer than 254 bytes into multiple 254 byte records. The incoming
file is defined as stream_lf with carriage return carriage control. I can
convert the file to variable with a declared record length, but Kermit still
breaks up long records. Is there a setting to change this behavior, or is
254 bytes a Kermit limitation?
Thanks,
Don Lewis
