*** 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. Graham | |||||
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 |
