Ras Dialer Error

Hello

I'm trying to use the Rasdial to connect to a PPP dial-up server and am getting the following error:
RAS Dialer Error: ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY

Note - The phone connection is being made, but the subsequent commands are not being processed.
I can actually open up a dos command prompt and manually ftp files and take advantage of the open Ras connection.

Below is the code I am using.
We have Windows 2000 as the operating system

Let me know how I can get this to work.
Thanks
Michael

If( my_found, MOVE_FILE, MOVE_COMPLETED )

MOVE_FILE:
// my_file is the name of the archive file
FileMove( "C:\\PNCLB\\filename.txt", my_file )
goto MOVE_COMPLETED

MOVE_COMPLETED:

// establish RAS connection
RASDial( "PNC", "user", "", connection )

FTPGetFile "100...", "user", "password", "file", "c:\\PNCLB\\filename.txt"

// terminate RAS connection
RASHangUp( connection )

ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY is usually misleading (it comes from Windows, not from 24x7). This error indicates the connection cannot be made. I guess in old Windows 3.0/3.1 days some programmer coded a generic error "not enough memory" for all "unknown" reasons. Anyway, if you have a valid connection setup it should appear as an icon in the Windows Start Menu/Settings/Network and Dial-up Connections/PNC. Click on this item manually and check if it can connect with the given user name/password. If it works it should work with RASDial.

Another tip, here is how you can get the file name using just one line of code

Before:
Dim my_date string
Dim my_file string
Dim my_pos number
Today( my_date )
Pos( my_date, "/", 1, my_pos )
Replace( my_date, my_pos, 1, "_", my_date )
Pos( my_date, "/", 1, my_pos )
Replace( my_date, my_pos, 1, "_", my_date )
Concat( "c:\\archive\\arch_", my_date, my_file )

After:
Dim( my_file, string, "c:\\archive\\arch_@T"mm_dd_yyyy"" )

Hello

I am able to use dial-up networking connection manually and establish a valid connection.
I can then manually FTP files.
I still am getting the not enough memory error message when I use this dial-up connection thru the Rasdial JAL command.

Your JAL statement requires a userid and pswd, however the service I am dialing into does not require a password.
I suspect the error may be in that area, how can I pass a null value as a password.

It does not support NULL passwords. Are you currently passing an empty string for the password?

Instead of calling RasDial/RasHangup commands you can use the following

Dim( pid, number )
RunAndWait( "rasdial.exe [connection name here]", "", 0, pid )
... do what you need to do here ...
RunAndWait( "rasdial.exe [connection name here] /DISCONNECT", "", 0, pid )

For more info run rasdial.exe /? from DOS command line
