Redirecting VPLUS Input and Output 

Before you use TRANDEBUG to debug a VPLUS application, you should
redirect your VPLUS input and output to an alternative terminal.  To do
this, follow these steps:

   1.  Find an alternative terminal that is available and is hard-wired
       to your computer.

   2.  Log onto the alternative terminal.

   3.  Type SHOWME to determine the logical device of the alternative
       terminal.

   4.  Write down the logical device number of the alternative terminal.

   5.  Log off the alternative terminal and go back to your terminal.

   6.  Type the following file statement to redirect your application
       forms to the alternative terminal and then run your program:

            :FILE TRANVPLS; DEV=##   (Use the Ldev # from step 4.)
            :RUN MYPROG 

If the redirection fails, do the following steps:

   1.  Execute the following command to determine if the alternative
       terminal is available (AVAIL):

            :SHOWDEV ##  (## is the LDEV of the alternative terminal)

   2.  Determine the system baud rate by asking your system manager.
       Then, check the alternative terminal baud rate to ensure that it
       is the same as the system baud rate.
