Ed,

They want either the same name as the dict name, or null.

Example:
sel-restore myfile itemx
account name on tape: *acctname*
Dictionary name on tape: myfile
File name on tape: myfile

It's possible you can just hit return at the filename prompt and one of
two things will happen:

1) it will assume with no data name that they are the same and you want
data from the "myfile" file; or
2) it will assume you are restoring from the dictionary portion of the
file.

I think it does number 2) (!) because it takes off when I press enter there.
So I duped the filename for both dict and data and it found the items I
needed (it allows a select-list to be active.) It appears to be just a
syntactical difference from D3.

Yes, mvBase is just like D3, except when it's not. I also need to increase
the size of the blob since the client is down to about 1% left, so I need
those docs bad. If you or anyone knows of a browser that can hook up to the
ftp site (I've tried IE and Fireox), please let me know.

Thanks,

Ed





Sorry, can't be more specific than that. Wasn't mvBase the product RD
bought from GA? Alike but not the same?

What's the exact sequence of questions?

Account name on tape :
Dictionary name on tape :
File name on tape :

Not sure what is wanted for dictionary name.

Went there for a quick mvBase answer and the whole ftp site is now
"under constuction." Anyone on the inside know when it'll be back up?

My mvbase question is this. It's been a LONG time since I did tape ops
on an mvBase system. I'm sel-restoring a file and it's asking for the
dictionary name. I'm used to entering the account name and file name.
If I needed a dict, I'd sel-restore DICT filename and it'd know what to
do. Why is the dict name necessary?

Thanks,

ummmm, can you FTP to ANYWHERE? (ftp://downloads.stamina.com.au/
testdrivecd is a good place to try :-)
Is it possible you have a firewall on your pc/router that is stopping
FTP access ?
