File transfer Status becoming ZERO

[VikramChand]

Hi,

I have been trying to capture file transfer status with $XFERSTATUS for last 2 days but was not successfull.

I have listed the code i have been using in my script.

sendfile ZMODEM sendfilename
iStatus1 = $XFERSTATUS
while iStatus1 == 1
yield
iStatus1 = $XFERSTATUS
endwhile
if iStatus1 == 2
usermsg "in the file status successful condition"
elseif iStatus1 == 3
usermsg "in the file status aborted condition"
call systemdisconnect
endif

the transfer status is becoming ZERO after it exists the while loop and the istatus1 variable also becomes ZERO.

can some one help me to figure this out?

Thanks
Vikram

Try moving yield until after your assignment:

while iStatus1 == 1
    iStatus1 = $XFERSTATUS   
    yield
endwhile

According to documentation, yield suspends the script, so maybe $XFERSTATUS is changing/reseting before the assignment takes place.

I've never used aspect to transfer files, so I'm grasping at straws here.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried doing that but did not work.

i also tried

while iStatus1 == 1
iStatus1 = $XFERSTATUS
yield
iStatus2 = iStatus1
endwhile

still same results.

Regards
Vikram

Very strange, can't recall seeing a problem like this before.

What are your Zmodem options in the Options | Data Options | Transfer Protocol dialog?

Is this sufficient?

Receiver Crash Recovery Settings

Crash Recovery Options : IF data/time match
Overwrite Options : Overwrite if incoming newer

sender crach recovery settings

Crach recovery options: Crach recover if the file's
CRCs match otherwise overwrite
Overwrite Options : Disabled

Other Options
transmit Method: Streaming
error Detection : 32 bit CRC

Use local EOL convention: Unchecked
Original File time stamp : Checked

Thanks

Looks OK to me there. Are you downloading the same filename each time, or is it a unique name every download? Does the file make it down OK (i.e. all there, not a read-only location, etc.)?

Knob,

I am actually uploading the file.

Download part looks ok to me.

Thanks

Ah oops, missed that part. In that case, is the file making it successfully to the remote machine?

Knob,

Yes file is making successfully to the remote machine. I have called and confirmed that.

Thanks

Sorry, had forgotten about this topic. Are you sending the same filename each time or does that vary from one transmission to the next?

Knob,

I send different file names each time.

Thanks

Very strange, I'll have to hook a couple machines up and give it a shot, don't know if I will be able to do that tonight or not.
