John,

You said this is a 'new installation'.  Do you have a PC that works?  

I supported Reflection for 1,600 users.  A trick I found useful was taking a
working PC and a non-working PC and comparing the configuration.  You can
copy the settings file, but a different way that may offer a clue is to...

1) Start Reflection as you normally would.
2) Sign off the system
3) Make sure the screen is blank - ctrl-home and Alt-j (clear) or Alt-R
(reset)
4) Type Alt-y to open a command window
5) Type 'V changed' and click "Run!" 

You should see something like the info below.  Do this on both working and
non-working and compare.

COMPRESSION                   NONE
COMWIN-IMMED                  NO
DATACOMM-NODE                 "192.168.1.1"
DATACOMM-PORT                 "VT-MGR"
DEFAULT-TRANSFER-METHOD       LABELS
DISPLAY-MEMORY-BLOCKS         128
FAST-FILE-XFER                NO
FORMS-BUFFER-SIZE             16
TERMINAL-ID                   "70094"
TERMINAL-TYPE                 HP70094
TRANSFER-DOWNLOAD-DIRECTORY   "c:\My Documents\_Mark\Pro 3K"
WINDOW-TITLE                  "&f - &u"

Which OS are you using, I have experienced some issues with Win 7 running
RCL scripts for file transfers.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Reflection question
  

Environment: Reflection 12.0.8, Powerhouse application

Application has a function key defined to invoke a RCL script which
suspends the current vtmgr connection to the 3000, opens a serial
connection called "scale", reads the weight from the truck scale, closes
the serial connection, resumes the vtmgr session and transmits the
weight to the application.

On a new intsallation the app hangs up somewhere in the RCL script and
locks up everthing. The only thing to do at this point is to close
Reflection. But if I first unlock the configuration (esc&q0L) and then
simply view the connection settings and click OK then the app works as
expected. It continues to work until the R1 session is closed. Saving
the settings file when the app is working does not help.

What does viewing the current connection settings do that makes it
work???



I asked this question of Attachmate as a supported customer but got only
a canned answer that version 12 is obsolete. 

Regards,
John
