Hello,
I have an ALL-IN-1 V3.0 customer who has a question about:
13.9 Specifying Document Conversion Types
(ALL-IN-1 Management V3.0)
The last step is to provide a convert function that is to be used
to perform the conversion.
What is the convert function ? A .SCP,.COM,.EXE?? or something
else? Also once defined, where will ALL-IN-1 go looking for it?
Any information that will help clairfy the situation (for me and
the client) would be great.

hello again,
In addition the client would like to know the rules for passing
parameters (like what to convert and where to put it). In fact,
a general overview would be helpful since the manual leave alot
of the details un-answered.
Thanks...
Derek.

There is more about Document Conversions in section 21.3.4 of the V3.0
Application Programming Guide.
The contents of the 'Convert function' field are executed as an ALL-IN-1
function. This can be a single ALL-IN-1 function or more commonly a 'DO
script' to execute an ALL-IN-1 script, or a 'COMMAND file' to execute a DCL
command procedure. ALL-IN-1 will look for Scripts or Command procedures in
the normal directories - see descriptions of 'DO' and 'COMMAND' functions
for details.
The parameters for a Convert function are listed in Table 21-8 of the
Application Programming Guide.
There are two scripts, OA$DO:CHECK_CONVERT.SCP and OA$DO:FILECONVERT.SCP,
which are used by ALL-IN-1 to determine when a convert function is used
and to invoke the convert function.
