- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Send Appends to Host ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This menu selection displays the ForaUp dialog to assist you in uploading and
- posting your append files to the IBM host system. Before you can upload and
- post appends, you must be logged-on to the IBM host system.
-
- ForaUp - Send Append Dialog
-
- This dialog contains the following fields and controls;
-
- Choose 3270 Session
-
- Each active 3270 emulator window contains a short name, A thru Z. ForBrows
- provides up to six radio buttons, to allow you to specify which 3270 window is
- to be the target of the append upload. You should click on the button for the
- session that is connected to the IBM conferencing system.
-
- If there are no 3270 sessions active, all radio buttons will be disabled, as
- well as the "Send" button.
-
- List File Spec(s)
-
- This entry field will be pre-filled with drive and pathname you gave for
- appends in ForBrows's Set Installation Defaults dialog. If you wish to list
- files in other subdirectories, you may specify other drive and path information
- in this field.
-
- Select Append Files for Processing
-
- This listbox contains the names of files. You may select files by clicking
- mouse button 2 over a list entry. After an entry is selected, you may process
- the file by clicking on the View, Send, or Discard buttons.
-
- List Button
-
- Lists the files specified in the FileSpec(s) entry field.
-
- View Button
-
- View (browse) the selected file.
-
- Send Button
-
- Upload the selected file to the IBM host, and append it to the appropriate
- forum on the IBM master conferencing disk. The append is sent to the 3270
- session specified via the "Choose 3270 Session" radio button.
-
- After append is sent, it is copied to a \POSTED subdirectory. The \POSTED
- subdirectory will be a child of your append subdirectory.
-
- This button will be disabled if you do not have a 3270 window connected to an
- IBM host.
-
- Technical Note This function uses EHLLAPI calls to drive the targeted 3270
- session, and requires ACS3EHAP.DLL in the LIBPATH, if you are using the OS/2
- Communications Manager. If you are using PMHPO, you will need TAPHLL32.DLL.
-
- Erase Button
-
- Erase the selected file(s). You will be asked to verify the erasure.
-
- Cancel Button
-
- Exit the ForaUp dialog. If you press Cancel during an upload, ForaUp will
- terminate its processing of the upload; however it has no way to tell either
- the OS/2 Communications Manager or PMHPO to terminate the SEND (upload).
