Piped character count
«

While we can get where we are when outputing to a serial file by checking KEC() for the file, is there a way to determine how many characters have been sent to a piped channel? If I open (ch)"|process_prog...", can I know how much went out before I close (ch)?
Thanks!

James,
I would be interested if there is an internal value that tracks this, but I just use a variable, reset a the time of Pipe open, and add the size (len) of the payload before I write it to the pipe channel.
