1701.0. "Include SIXEL files" by SCHERZ::SAMPL () Mon Nov 02 1992 16:19

    Hi there,
    
    	We have an application which includes some SIXEL files into
        documents.
    	Now, under ALL-IN-1 V2.4, there was no problem, but under V3.0
    	there seems to be a problem with the <&include ...> function.
    
    	What we do:
    
    		(in the BLP)
    	get oa$dcl="$ a1encode oauser:vs,sixel SIXEL/out=oauser:vs.a1sixel"
	get oa$merge_line="<&INCLUDE 'oauser:vs.a1sixel'>"
    
	We can view the vs.a1sixel file with <LIST, but we can't include
    	it in the documents. Including any text file is no problem.
    
    	Any ideas what could be wrong here?
    	
    	Thanks in advance,
    	Viktor

	Hi There! > but we can't include > it in the documents. Including any text file is no problem. It might be useful if you tell us what goes wrong. What happens when you try to include it in documents? Regards, Paul
1701.2	More details	SCHERZ::SAMPL		`Tue Nov 03 1992 08:26`	67
	Hi, here are some details about what we're trying to achieve: 1) The BLP file (VS.BLP) GET OA$MERGE_LINE="VS - START-TEST" GET OA$MERGE_LINE="<&INCLUDE 'VS.TEXT'>" GET OA$MERGE_LINE="<&INCLUDE 'VS.A1SIXEL'>" GET OA$MERGE_LINE="<&INCLUDE 'VS.TEXT'>" GET OA$MERGE_LINE="VS - END-TEST" 2) The Text file (VS.TEXT) !++ !This is text from VS.TEXT !-- 3) <Merge vs.blp,vs.wpl gives the following result: <List vs.wpl --------------------------TOP--------------------------------- GET OA$MERGE_LINE="VS - START-TEST" GET OA$MERGE_LINE=" !++ !This is text from VS.TEXT !-- " GET OA$MERGE_LINE=" " GET OA$MERGE_LINE=" !++ !This is text from VS.TEXT !-- " GET OA$MERGE_LINE="VS - END-TEST" --------------------------BOTTOM--------------------------------- Changing the BLP file to GET OA$MERGE_LINE="VS - START-TEST" <&INCLUDE 'VS.TEXT'> <&INCLUDE 'VS.A1SIXEL'> <&INCLUDE 'VS.TEXT'> GET OA$MERGE_LINE="VS - END-TEST" leads to the following: --------------------------TOP--------------------------------- GET OA$MERGE_LINE="VS - START-TEST" !++ !This is text from VS.TEXT !-- !++ !This is text from VS.TEXT !-- GET OA$MERGE_LINE="VS - END-TEST" --------------------------BOTTOM--------------------------------- All the mentioned files can be copied from node SCHERZ:: (48.188). Any help appreciated. Regards, Viktor
1701.3	Need Start and End Controls in your boilerplate	GIDDAY::SETHI	Man from Downunder	`Thu Nov 05 1992 05:47`	32
	Hi Viktor, I played around with the VS.A1SIXEL and the .blp etc. I had the same problem as yourself. To test if WPS-PLUS or ALL-IN-1 is the cause of the problem I gold got (Gold G) your file into a WPS-PLUS document. I managed to display the Sixel file. What you need to do is to put a Start Control and an End Control in your blp. For example GET OA$MERGE_LINE="VS - START-TEST" GET OA$MERGE_LINE="<&INCLUDE 'VS.TEXT'>" Insert code for Start Control GET OA$MERGE_LINE="<&INCLUDE 'VS.A1SIXEL'>" Insert code for End Control GET OA$MERGE_LINE="<&INCLUDE 'VS.TEXT'>" GET OA$MERGE_LINE="VS - END-TEST" Hopefully someone out there will enter the code required to put in the control blocks in a boilerplate. Can someone tell us where all the boilerplate directives are documented ? Your Sixel file contains some kind of a graph as far as I can tell, what is it ? Good luck Sunil
1701.4	Merge Function	AIMTEC::BUTLER_T		`Thu Nov 05 1992 13:54`	11
	ALL, The directives are in the write-up for the Merge function in vol 2. There are examples of start/end control blocks in this conference using TEXT_FILE (1411 for starters), and some in the WPS-PLUS conference. HTH, Tim
1701.5	More information needed	SCHERZ::SAMPL		`Thu Nov 05 1992 13:55`	25
	Hi Sunil, thanks very much for your effort. Unfortunately, I don't know either what exactly the codes are to let a boilerplate insert start/end control blocks. There are still some questions, o Is it possible to insert control blocks, if yes, how? o Where can I find some documentation about this. o Why did this work under ALL-IN-1 V2.4? Any help is well appreciated. Regards, Viktor PS: Sunil, the application to which this sixel file belongs is an ALL-IN-1 based project toolkit consisting of project qualifikation quiz, project calculation model, report generator (where the problem with the sixel file comes up) and a set of templates. The sixel files contains a project impact evaluation diamond which shows the relation between risk,business,financial and complexity of a given project.
