Product Alert #23
Version 3.01 Software - Model 6301A/B
Errors unloading large amounts of data
7 July 1995
Symptom
Unloads greater than 64K cause faulty plots and incorrect dates on reports produced by PDLOUT.
Problem
The problem is in PDLINT.EXE versions <= 1.3 although it can be overcome by careful programming of .CCF files.
Correction
Download the Version 3 Update.
This problem has been corrected in software versions 3.02 and later.
Alternative Correction
Edit the file “PDLFUNL.CCF” and change the code in subroutine “dfrec” (at about line 109) from...
if (!flength(f)) fwrite(b,1,512,f)
to...
if (flength(f) == 0) fwrite(b,1,512,f)
