Hi Everyone:



Culd someone please explain me how to export files from REV to Windows platform.



I have Rev on Novell V platform and want to export some files

from rev to text plain files or something that i can use on word or excel.



On Arev we can derive the printer output to a file, there is some

way to do it on Rev ?



Thanks in advance for your help.

<QUOTE>PDISK should be in REV G and should route printer output to a file pretty much the same as ARev.



The other option is to use the PORTER routine, available on the Utilities disk. You may have to install PDISK from the Utilities disk also, I don't recall for sure.

I try to use PDISK however it isn?t stalled, and we haven?t the disks or even the sysprog password, we try to recover from a major disaster.



I think maybe there is a method to read REV files from AREV o someway to import them into AREV, could you give me some clues, I will appreciate.



Thanks again.

<QUOTE>Yes .. you can access Rev g data from Arev.



This is an example from 3.1



Get to Arev main menu.  If not your current menu ..

F5 for tcl

F10 for arev menu

DB Admin

Locations

Define



This brings up the SetVolume window

Enter a volume name to reference you RevB volume .. 'REVG'

Enter the data type .. F2 for options 'Revelation G'

Enter tge data location 'c:\mydrive\myrevg'



Press f9 .. this saves your definition



Now, from tcl,  you should be able to 



ATTACH REVG (or what ever you named it) enter



Now you should be able to access your Rev g tables just like there were Arev tables ..



Hope this helps

We use AREV 2.1 and it has some similar at your description

I used 

F5 for TCL

F10

But the program sends an error W517 It said that can't attach the file.



Any suggestions?



Thanks.
