TOPS20 Change Order Number 1753

Edit checked: YES			   Document: NO
  TCO Tested: YES		Maintenance Release: NO

Program: EXEC

Problem: 
Using the EXEC TYPE command to look at a line-sequenced file on magtape
causes the line numbers to drop into the bit bucket.

Diagnosis: 
EXEC opens the magtape in 7-bit mode without turning on OF%PLN.

Solution: 
Always open input device in TYPE and COPY commands with OF%PLN.  This is
OK to do since in all cases where you want to pass real line numbers,
the input device is opened in 36-bit mode and OF%PLN doesn't matter.

Problem: 
	LONG ^ESEND COMMANDS LOST TEXT AT THE END OF A TERMINAL LINE.

Diagnosis: 
	^SEND USES TTMSG JSYS, WHICH DOES NOT PASS STRING THROUGH
	NORMAL TERMINAL SERVICE FACILITIES.  HENCE SUCH THINGS AS
	LINE WRAPAROUND AND CONTROL CHARACTER CONVERSION ARE NOT
	AVAILABLE.

Solution: 
	THE EXEC MUST FORMAT THE MESSAGE TO MAKE UP FOR THE LACK
	OF STANDARD TERMINAL FACILITIES.  THE EXEC WILL NOW
	ARBITRARILY BREAK THE STRING AFTER 72 CHARACTERS (TAB AND
	OTHER MULTIPLE-COLUMN CHARACTERS ARE COUNTED AS ONE
	CHARACTER).  AFTER EACH 72 CHARACTERS, THE EXEC WILL INSERT
	A CARRIAGE-RETURN, LINE-FEED, AND SPACE INTO THE TEXT.
