Kelly,


PowerPatch 4 contained a FTP bug, you need a FTP Patch to fix this,
FTPFD57A or later (PatchID not surtain).

Look for the exact name on the Patch site of HP.


Good luck finding the fixing patch,

Greetings.

From the can't-explain file:

On Monday a Cognos subfile was FTPed from a box with MPE/iX 5.5 Powerpatch 5
(yes, the one with problems) to another box with MPE/iX 5.5 Powerpatch 4.
Although the file contained 14,695 records with data on the sending box, the
receiving box received the same file with a big hole in the middle - records
11
through 13,116 were blank (as were the end of the 10th record and the
beginning
of the 13,117th record).  FTP on the sending box advertises itself as
[A0008S33].

At first I believed this was the problem discussed some time ago when 5.5 PP
5
was first released, i.e. in addition to the DBUTIL/erase issue, that
permanent
Cognos subfiles would have unexplained 'gaps' in the data.  But I was able
to
confirm that the data on the sending box was whole.

When this process was run two weeks ago, there were no holes in the
datafile.
Two weeks before that, though, there was a hole.  (It just took us a while
to
analyze the problem.)  Today I attempted to re-create the file with a hole
in
another account, but I was unsuccessful.

Any ideas?
