*** Getting a file directly into WPS-plus ***
Hi,
I'm rustier than I thought (know!) as a customer has just asked me how
you get a file directly into WPS, using a UDP `attached' to a key.
Basically, exactly the same functionality as GOLD Get, except;
- no choice in filename/document etc, same one all the time
- consequently, the GOLD G UI (display of forms, input from script) is
a bit clunky and they would like to omit/hide it from the user, but
with the same end-result
I thought you'd be able to do it using merge (specifying no output
file) but I can't get it to work.
Should it ?
Does it ?
Any clues to where I'm going wrong.
Regards,
John

| 2423.1 | I'm not sure you can do this... | IOSG::PYE | Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice | Wed Mar 17 1993 10:38 | 11 |
I started off thinking that you could just set up the same symbols that
are used in GOLDGMENU, and it would be easy. Then I realised that I
didn't know where the GOLD/G code was, so I searched through all the
forms in the kit and couldn't find it. I conclude that it's built into
the editor code somewhere, which may make your idea impossible to do.
There might be a function that you could call after having set the
symbols up, but I can't find it. Perhaps the WPS-PLUS group will know if
you ask in their notesfile.

| 2423.2 | Not possible? | IOSG::NEWLAND | Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2 | Wed Mar 17 1993 10:56 | 13 |
I don't think it's possible. When the WPS-PLUS editor is running it is in control of the keyboard and all key strokes (except ones like CTRL/Y which are intercepted by VMS) are processed by WPS-PLUS. The keys used by WPS-PLUS cannot be changed by ALL-IN-1 customizations. The GOLD-G key causes WPS-PLUS to display the form GOLDGMENU. The GOLDGMENU menu sets symbols to tell WPS-PLUS what to get (Document or file) and the name of document or file. The only way you have of changing Gold-get is to customize GOLDGMENU and it's associated scripts and forms. Richard | |||||
