HP41 HP-IL : PROBLEM IN READING A PROGRAM (LIF) FROM A DRIVE

[aurelio]

Maybe a dummi question, forgive me in case. If I have to load a program via HP_IL (PIL_BOX) on a 41 from a media (virtual), which contains more than one PRG, how can I select, running READP the target? I'm not asked for which. I'm trying unsuccessfully to do it through PYILPER and maybe it does not work because the PRG is not specified and the operation stops on PACKING
Maybe it's about writing LIF on the DRIVE in particular way?

edit: typos

HP-IL manual page 33 (german version), bottom:
- put the name in ALPHA of the program to retrieve
- XEQ READP
should do it (if the PYILPER configuration like /dev/ttyUSB0 and Drive1 are correctly choosen).
Pack? HP-IL manual attachment B, "PACKING TRY AGAIN" you perhaps dont have enough register on your machine

Hello Floppy and thankyou for your reply.
I already tried it before to post the question, but it does not work

if I read the programs, written one at a time on the disk instead works, I do not think it is due to the number of registers since individually they can be loaded

edit: I on't understand why and how, but it was uncorrectly sized... , you were right not enough register on the machine, now solved, thankyou

Did you resolve this issue?
If you're still interested in debugging this, you could try the HP41UC (file converter) utility, from a command prompt (CMD)... Like this: hp41uc /l=<file>
where <file> is the name of the LIF file that contains your programs.

For example:
> hp41uc /l=HP9114B.DAT

Hey Dan, great to hear from you too!
Well, your article (from way back in the day) was a major inspiration to HP41UC:
