CIFS caracte r mapping
From a Vista desktop, I can map a share and create a text file that can be read properly with EVE.
When I create a text file from VMS in the shared directory, the file content seems to be interpreted as UNICODE :
$ type test.txt
aaa
bbb
ccc
$
With Notepad :
慡a 扢b 捣c
I guess there should be a configuration attribute to manage this ...
Best regards
Jean-François

Re: CIFS caracte r mapping
I recently was in contact with the engineers currently working on the port of SAMBA to VMS.
I reported the same problem with Notepad. They assured me they are working on a fix, and advised me to use Wordpad in the mean time.
Hope this helps,

Re: CIFS caracte r mapping
Welcome to the HP OpenVMS ITRC Forums!
>> the file content seems to be interpreted as UNICODE :
No, the problem does not lie in the characters but in the line terminators.
Windows expects CR-LF, you probably provided a 'LF' only.
In VMS speak, do a DIR/FULL and/or DUMP/BLOC=COUNT=1.
To 'fix' the file try after a convert on VMS:
$CONV/FDL="record; format stream" test.txt fixed.txt
Of course that's not a fix, just a way to avoid a problem.
Notepad is nice and 'light', but braindead. Always was, Always will be. No love lost.
Wordpad seems to heavy / inflexible to me.
If I can not use notepad then I us "Crimson Editor" or TextPad instead. Many other alternatives exist of course.
hth,
Hein.

Re: CIFS caracte r mapping
I discover that chineese caracters appearing in notepad were not displayed on ITRC.
Using Wordpad gives me
aa bb cc
on a single line
Still not OK ...
But slightly better !

Re: CIFS caracte r mapping
Forgot to mention that in the SMB.CONF, you have to specify either in the "[global]" section or in the per-share section, the clause "vfs objects = varvfc" if using the CIFS T1.0A port of SAMBA.
