Hello world,
I need to implement a directive to display text file as mails or logs...
Questions: Is there any DECmcc's specific way to do it?
May i create a new attribut (buffer of char) that mcc would treat as
any other one?
In the last case, how can i manage the out format in IMPM?
Regards, Philippe

The closest thing we have is SET OF latin1string, or SEQUENCE OF
latin1string where each element could be one line in the file. This wouldn't
look that pretty though.
It sounds like you need an "ASCII Text File" datatype. This datatype could
be modeled like a SEQUENCE OF Latin1Strings. The generic PMs, when displaying
this datatype, could print it in the format:
Atttribute/Argument Label :
line 1
line 2
.
.
.
line n
If you use the existing SET OF or SEQUENCE OF Latin1Stings datatype, the
output would look something like:
Command Line
------------
Attribute/Argument Label : {"line 1",
"line 2",
.
.
.
"line 3"}
Iconic Map
----------
Attribute/Argument Label | line 1
+--------
| line 2
+--------
.
.
.
| line n
+--------
Not quite what is desired but it may do the trick.
