PutClient itself is rather fussy when it comes to timing.
I use it in several scripts, like the example below.
Address Command 'C:PutClient L='||LocOut||'
'||UserName||':'||PassWd||'@'||Site||'/'||RemOut||'/'file
(all on a single line) Notice that I've assigned variables in the
example because the same script connects to three different FTP
sites, each with different usernames, passwords and of course
outbound filenames.
I'd suggest you use something other than PutClient to force your TCP
stack online. Have you tried simply telling Miami to dial up through
ARexx?
If ~SHOW('P','MIAMI.1') then do
Mi_Up = 0
Do UNTIL Mi_Up = 1
Address Command 'C:Run >NIL: Miami:MiamiDX'
Call DELAY(50)
If SHOW('P','MIAMI.1') then Mi_Up = 1
End
End
Address MIAMI.1 ; IsOnLine /* see if Miami's online */
If RC=0 then do
OnLine /* if not, do it now! */
Call DELAY(200)
IsOnLine
If RC=1 then say 'Success!'
Else do
Say 'Miami Online failed'
EXIT 20
End
End
Else Say 'Miami was already online...'
Cache Ya,
Craig.
