Hi all,

In this script a table dump file from PLM 8 server is uploaded in baan tables.In debugger seq.gets gives some special characters.Can any one help me on this please.

file.path = "\\sankalp\pdmdoc\wbsdocps.dmp"
open.ptr = seq.open(file.path,"r")
if open.ptr > 0 then
while seq.gets(pdm.rec,1024,open.ptr) >= 0
if lval(pdm.rec(1;3)) = 145
then
insert.records()
else
continue
endif
endwhile
seq.close(open.ptr)
else

Thanks in advance.

Hi

What is the type of this variable "pdm.rec"? How is it defined?

- George

The variable is defined as string pdm.rec(180)

And what are the special charachters you are referring to?

hi

I just included the seq.getc$ in the script.After every character some null characters are found.How to solve this ? Is it a additional features added in the plm 8?
Is there any solution?

while seq.gets(pdm.rec,1024,open.ptr) >= 0
| while seq.read(pdm.rec,1024,open.ptr) >= 0
for i = 1 to 255
test = seq.getc$(open.ptr)
endfor
if lval(pdm.rec(1;3)) = curr.comp
then
insert.records()
else

Hi en
In the debugger mode the value of pdm.rec shows 3 characters which are not available in the keyboard.Now the pdm.rec variable is defined as string of 255 characters.

Hi Shanti,

The file is of type .dmp. Try using text file it should solve the problem.

hi prasad
the problem remains same.This file is created from PLM 8 server.For plm 6 version there is no problem.Its working fine.

Hi Shanti,

I tried with to upload the file attached by you,I too found some unknown characters.I changed the file to text format then it was successful.
