Model File Scrubber
Information
Exchange Group, Inc.
Overview:
Case
extract files from host LINC which are transported to the PC are called
"Model" files. Often, the
file transport process introduces ASCII control characters (less than 20h). Also, many host LINC systems from A series
or V series use T-27 terminal highlighting codes which are also ASCII control
characters.
Under
certain circumstances, models containing these control characters are not
loadable into LDA. Furthermore, LDA
does not provide keyboard sequences to add or maintain T-27 highlighting
codes. Often, models containing ASCII
control characters do not properly generate on other host LINC platforms; and
even when they do, the T-27 codes are not likely to have the desired effect.
SCRUBBER
is a Visual Basic program which detects ASCII control code usage in
context. That is, "Clear
When" characters can legitimately be less than 20h. SCRUBBER replaces undesirable control codes
with a space and provides an audit of all replacements.
