As per other posts, your user menu needs to recognise the Run of
Reflection's file transfer program etc.
In our case we have restructured our menus thus. Our production users
have a standard s/3000 menus that don't allow them to invoke file
transfers. We did this because as soon as you allow file transfers,
then the user has the ability to accidentally overwrite critical files
in their logon account.
Any user that required the ability to transfer a file to, or from, the
HP were therefore given a special logon in a download account for this
purpose - and the menus in that account were structured to recognise the
"Run" command that reflections and minisoft invoke when starting a file
transfer session.
We're in the process of removing this option - having decided to use FTP
instead.
Here's a working example :
Each user menu presents the options and then invokes a single, central
menu which waits on the user's selection. In the examples below the
user is CAPEAMNU and the central menu is SELECNEW which also invokes
another "menu" file called LASTMENU. The last menu recognises special
key words - including "C" to allow them to change their VESSOFT
password.

Subject: Re: [HP3000-L] Vesoft Menus & File xfers
Larry,
You'll need to add an item in your menu that would invoke the file
transfer. The 'logic' associated with that item would depend on the
sophistication of your users. If your users are accustomed in
specifying their own options (file names, record sizes, transfer
methods, etc..) then the following MPE commands (they can also be placed
in a command file) should do the trick:
echo Initiating The file transfer
continue
echo ![CHR(27)]&oBRECEIVE{} from {}
continue
input rf_run_cmd;wait=120
if LEN(rf_run_cmd) > 6 then
!rf_run_cmd
input rf_ccode;wait=1 >$null
echo The file transfer was complete
else
echo **Request canceled or timed out** ![chr(7)] endif deletevar rf_@
If your user community uses different versions of Reflection or
additional emulators then something along the lines of what Chris
replied would be needed. I would not recommend Mark's suggestion,
however, since it would require changing the configuration for each
user.
You may need to add some 'validation' logic to the above to make sure
that the users do not change their 'file transfer' settings and thus
execute some other program instead of the 'pclink2....'. The following
sections are from another command file:
...
setvar pc_link_list &
"RUN PCLINK.PUB.SYS#;RUN PCLINK2.PUB.SYS#;/SYS/PUB/PCLINK2#"
....
input rf_run_cmd;wait=120
if POS(rf_run_cmd,pc_link_list) = 0 then
echo
echo ******** ERROR: Bad transfer utility
echo
escape 976
end
...
Regards
Paul Christidis
