| I use the inherent capabilities of store file frequently to make large numbers of changes. I usually extract all the LEN's that require the changes and then create single line entry of the change using a combination of MS Access and MS Word. Basically I download a table that contains all the LENS (IBNLINES for example for analog sets). Then import into Access. From Access I then merge to MS Word. This allows you to enter the commands, then insert the LEN. Once you complter the merge save as a text file, then ftp file to the DMS. Make sure you remove any file extensions before the ftp. Store file does not like the .txt for example.
The script may look something like this:
ADO $ 0 1 10 12 3wc $ Y
ADO $ 0 1 10 13 3wc $ Y
etc...
Once the file is in store file, go into servord then read the file. It moves pretty quick. Make sure you capture the output to go back and look for errors.
I also use procom for some tasks. Attached is an example Procom script.
It can be easily modified to make any changes. The CKLN.TXT file that is referenced in the script is simply a one line command:
CKLN $ <old len> <new len> $ Y
Put any single line command in the file and you are all set! Pretty easy. The nice thing about the script is it checks for success or failure of a command, so abort can be transmitted if need be. This prevents the script from completly bombing out. |
