The Question is: We are migrating an OpenVMS application that receives ascii text data sets posted to it via http through the OSU freeware webserver software. As part of the migration we are attempting to "re-post" the transactions to the new application located at a dif ferent IP address. We wrote a C program which uses sockets to accomplish this and are now encountering a 64K limit that UCX 4.2 has, when attempting to re-post large data sets. Since we cannot upgrade the legacy host we are looking for the best alternat ives. We cannot modify the clients which do the original post. Can you offer altenatives better than having to "program around" this 64K limit? Are there any freeware or other alternatives to doing this through UCX? The Answer is : This certainly appears to be part of the cost of the conflict between being locked onto older environments and older product versions while also requiring new features and new support and enhancements -- in the OpenVMS Wizard's experience, you are unfortunately going to have to program around this particular transport-level limit if you must remain within this particular configuration. There may or may not be capabilities within the third-party web server package that could assist here -- the OpenVMS Wizard is not particularly familiar with third-party applications such as OSU, and would encourage you to directly contact the supporting parties for the particular package.
