3650.0. "Document Transfer - Length GT 255 Characters?" by SOLVIT::JKELLEY () Thu Dec 09 1993 23:11

    Is there any way to transfer a document content from ALL-IN-1 to VMS so
    that the resulting file will allow/recognize record lengths of greater
    than 255?
    
    I have LIST processed a document with paragraphs through FORM with no
    right (R) ruler marker.  My goal is to have each paragraph end up as
    one long line (some are as long as 480 characters).
    
    I get text length error messages when I use DT and SV on the resulting
    OUTPUT document; are there any Customization Management routines and
    parameters which would let me define an output file with records longer
    than 255 bytes?
    
    Once out of ALL-IN-1, I use CONVERT with FDL's to make a file of fixed
    length records equal to the longest original paragraph.
    
    Thanks.

3650.1	Type of document and file?	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Tue Dec 14 1993 14:14`	12
	Some questions: 1. What type of ALL-IN-1 document are you transferring, i.e., what is the data type and handling? 2. What type of VMS file are you creating, i.e., what file type do you specify? 3. What version of ALL-IN-1 are you using? Richard
3650.2	DT SV Alternatives for DTR input file > 255 Bytes	SOLVIT::JKELLEY		`Wed Dec 15 1993 17:11`	25
	1. What type of ALL-IN-1 document are you transferring, i.e., what is the data type and handling? > What ALL-IN-1 gives user as result of simple LIST PROCESSING routine. Am not sure where to look as ALL-IN-1 user to find specifics of your question. 2. What type of VMS file are you creating, i.e., what file type do you specify? > Am trying to create a FIXED LENGTH seguential RMS file. Part of my question is where in ALL-IN-1 facilities can I specify file type, etc. Doing simple DT (document transfer) and then SV (send to VAX) does not invite user to specify and apparently has limit of 255 bytes per output record. My record length need is to exceed 255 bytes. Intent is to use the file in DATATRIEVE process. 3. What version of ALL-IN-1 are you using? > Version 3.0
3650.3	Document and file type	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Wed Dec 15 1993 17:27`	10
	1. Select the Document on the DT menu and type Gold-V. This will display information about the document. What is the Data type and Handling? 2. What do you type into the VMS File Name field? The file type (e.g. .TXT) part of the RMS File Specification specifies the type of file to create. Richard
3650.4	Data type/Handling and file extension implications	SOLVIT::JKELLEY		`Thu Dec 16 1993 01:00`	26
	1. Select the Document on the DT menu and type Gold-V. This will display information about the document. What is the Data type and Handling? > Handling = blank; nothing displayed > Data Type = "WPSPLUS" 2. What do you type into the VMS File Name field? The file type (e.g. .TXT) part of the RMS File Specification specifies the type of file to create. > I used .TMP, not realizing the extension specifies type of file ALL-IN-1 will create. > What extension should I use to create an output file with record lengths of up to 480 characters? Even better, what would it be to make the file fixed length, if possible? I will also try to locate in ALL-IN-1 documentation; your quicker input will speed my project. Thanks. Richard
3650.5	WPS-PLUS to ASCII conversion	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Fri Dec 17 1993 14:11`	11
	A file type of .TMP will cause ALL-IN-1 to convert your WPS-PLUS document to an ASCII file. Record length restrictions are dependent on the type of documents being processed, and are not imposed by ALL-IN-1. WPS-PLUS has a maximum line length of 255 characters. How long are the lines in your WPS-PLUS document? Richard
3650.6	What "type of document" then?	SOLVIT::JKELLEY		`Fri Dec 17 1993 15:31`	9
	Length of line without right "r" wordwrap would be from 400 to 941 characters in length. I am trying to output a paragraph as a single record, run results through CONVERT and end up with fixed length records for DTR. Each of my paragraphs would become a record. From my point of view, type of document is WPSPLUS. What do I specify or do to get the results described thus far? Thanks.
