    Hello,
    
    ALL-IN-1 has the option to transfer documents from WPS-PLUS to ASCII, but
    doing it document by document. My customer has lots of documents that
    would like to transfer using a quick way, not selecting one, doing DT,
    SV, etc. Has anyone developed an UDP which does this directly with all
    the documents, or something similar.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Nieves

|     .FX FOR CAB$ DO COPY OA$CURDOC_FILENAME A.TXT
    
    The above line (untested) should do what you want.....
    
    BUT what you will do with the many versions of the A.TXT file, I don't
    know!
    
    ALL-IN-1 uses a File Cabinet structure - you can use long titles, and
    place documents into a convenient folder, which can then be placed into
    a drawer.... This is not easy to mimic within a VMS  directory
    structure, and IMPOSSIBLE within a PC / DOS style....
    
    
    So, Repeating Paul.... Why?

|     Of course, it would be possible to build a loop which would create a
    filename from the subject or title, and even put it into a directory
    which corresponds to something in the title.  
    
    In addition, if you are trying to convert the system to some other
    product, it may be possible to write a script to directly convert the
    documents into the correct format for that product.  So, you see, the
    best method is dependent on your goal.
