OpenVMS Date problem

menarda · Post by **menarda** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 12:36 pm

The date field for the files on the OpenVMS server are incorrect.

For example, the file

OCC_TCH_SEC_QUAL.SQL;26 8-APR-2003 10:58:51.11

is displayed through COREftp as

OCC_TCH_SEC_QUAL.SQL;26 04/08/2008 10:58

All of the dates in COREftp are displayed as 2008 or 2007
All files with a creation date (MM/DD) of between today and Jan 1 are dated
as 2008. All other files have a creation date year of 2007.

I am using CoreFTp v 2.1 build 1552.
I am using OpenVMS V7.3-1, with the TCP/IP V5.3 as the stack.
I have set the server type to VMS V7.+ and also set the legacy
option.

Thanks

Andre

Andre,

I've been using CoreFTP with OpenVMS for over a year...and I'd never noticed the date issue. But you're correct! I've duplicated it.

Chris (the CoreFTP engineer) will want the directory info from the OpenVMS connection. To get it open a connection to the OpenVMS system. After the directory listing comes up, right click the OpenVMS listing. Select "Directory Commands>Directory Info" This will open a text box with what to you will be very familiar OpenVMS directory output.

Paste that and a problem description to an e-mail to support@coreftp.com. Include your CoreFTP registration ID in the subject text for better response.

Thanks for the information...It took me a little while to catch that there was a
problem...

Here is the directory listing...

When I did a directory info with PRO, I saw a different formatting. Essentially more white space.

The white space did not cut and paste properly to my reply. I did send the
actual .txt to support@coreftp as an attachement.

Chris and Andre,

I forwarded a Directory Info to support@coreftp.com for an OpenVMS system. It includes a few cases that Andre's listing doesn't show that can impact parsing the text.

If the file name is long, then the rest of the data follows on the next line. If the file size is large, the columns after the size may shift.

Also not in my example is the case of a huge file, in which case the file size may be all asterisks.

Does the posting of the directory input above match?

I forwarded data too.
