Relevent Environmental information:
ALL-IN-1 v2.4, WordPerfect v5.1 , PC users who use PCSA to place PC
WordPerfect files on a virtual VAX disk drive
I am trying to customize the Document TRansfer Menu by adding an option
to Recieve a WordPerfect Document.
If a user retrieves a file with a .wpc extension all goes well but the
customer wants the flexibility to retrieve a file with any extension
into a WordPerfect document. The customer does not want the user to
have to name all WordPerfect documents with a .wpc extension!
It seems that the reason that a .wpc file comes in o.k. is because
ALL-IN-1 handles the document conversion during the copy into the file
cabinet.
There is a part of the script that includes the following line
get oa$function = "copy #vmsfile #filename"
I have modified this to be
get oa$function = "copy #vmsfile #filename wpcorp"
In order to force the DSAB to be WPCORP
This does not seem to work...I did not see any examples of this command
in the documentation...
Do I need WPCORP in a symbol?
Is it a quote problem?
Am I approaching this in the right way?
I would try to test these hypothesis myself but I will be on other
projects for a few days and hope that in the meantime someone would
have a quick answer for this query!
Thanks you for any help you can provide...Ruth

I believe that the problem is that the optional parameter at the end of
the COPY function is the out-dsab and you want it to be the in-dsab.
You can specify the in-dsab as well as the out-dsab in ALL-IN-1 V3 so
all you need to do is to upgrade to it.
The next best solution of which I can think is to rename #VMSfile to
always have a .WPC extension prior to the COPY and then restore the
filename afterwards. It's easy and will do the trick.
Have fun,
don

RE. .0 Ruth, even if undocumented, also in V2.4 you can specify both the input and the output text DSAB to be used. The point is that the first one is the output (as Don pointed out) while the second is the input. So in your case it should be something like: out-DSAB in-DSAB vvvvvvv vvvvvv GET OA$FUNCTION = "COPY #VMSFILE #FILENAME WPSPLUS WPCORP" Hope it helps. Roberto | |||||
