You may want to take a look at PAN (see ROCKS::PAN).

2980.2 | GPC's Index for deletes; PAN for merging. | IOSG::PYE | Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice | Fri Jul 09 1993 10:13 | 17 |
| There's nothing as standard in either ALL-IN-1's GPC i/f to DEC Notes
or DEC Notes itself to do merging of conferences.
In GPC, you can do an index of a range of notes by date and then select
them all for multiple deletion.
As John suggests, the PAN tool will also do mass deletions of
notes, however it doesn't have a /SINCE = date qualifier. You can do
deletions of ranges like 300.* - 20.* for example.
To do a merge of two conferences, PAN has a copy notes command which
will transfer ranges of notes from one conference to another.
Alternatively you could write scripts using ALL-IN-1's GPC functions to
do similar things.

2980.3 | Whereabout of GPC manual | ZPOVC::CHINGYUE | | Fri Jul 09 1993 13:04 | 9 |
| Thanks for replying.
PAN is an internal tool but the requests are from a customer.
Could you let me know where to copy GPC manuals ?
I'm refering to the one with all the GPC functions.
Thanks.

2980.4 | Location of GPC (NOTES) function documentation | SCOTTC::MARSHALL | Spitfire Drivers Do It Topless | Fri Jul 09 1993 15:24 | 7 |
| All the GPC functions are listed in the ALL-IN-1 Application Programmer's
Reference Manual Volume 2. This is a standard book in the ALL-IN-1 doc set.
The main function verb is "NOTES", and it has a plethora of sub-functions to
do pretty much everything you could ever want :-)

2980.5 | OK for *YOU* to use PAN, even on Customer site... | IOSG::PYE | Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice | Fri Jul 09 1993 16:05 | 12 |
| If you were going on site to do the work for the customer, you could
take the PAN tool, use it perform the merge, and then take PAN away
again. Surely field people do this with internal tools all the time.
It would be silly to write something new just to do this, when PAN can
do it already.
Of course if the customer is proposing to do this frequently, you're
either going to make a lot of visits, or you should perhaps suggest a
different way of working!
