3700.0. "Multiple import of WPS-PLUS files from VMS to ALL-IN-1" by OSLACT::BJARNEC_P (The last boat left without me .....) Thu Dec 23 1993 18:24

    Hi,
    
    
    Does anyone know a good way to automatically import 500+ documents
    originating from WPS-DOS V 3.1 into a Folder in ALL-IN-1 V3.0.  These would
    be imported as files from VMS because the person who wants to do this
    has managed to blow away his DOCDB.DAT file (or whatever the name is in
    WPS-DOS).  The idea would be to copy all these WPL files to a temporary
    directory on the VAX running ALL-IN-1 and then do a DT + "Import from
    VMS without conversion" type operation.  But for 500+ files this is a
    bit tidious, so it would be interesting to know if anyone has a little
    utility to do a multiple file import (the documents would obviously
    have to be renamed properly once they are imported).  Also, would there
    be any problems with respect to the versions of the WPS environments
    (WPS-DOS V3.1 and WPS V4.1 in ALL-IN-1 IOS V3.0)?
    
          
    Thanks,

After copying the files to the temporary directory do a:

    $ DIRECTORY/COLUMNS=1/OUT=FILES.LIS
    

Then create a UDP, include the list of files and make it into a UDP command
which surrounds each filename with the commands to import it and set the 
name of each document., e.g. 

    RV{CR}
    A.WPL{CR}
    This is file A.WPL{CR}
    RV{CR}
    B.WPL{CR}
    This is file B.WPL{CR}
