How do you send a program listing to an ASCII file so it can be later viewed with a text editor(Notepad, Word, etc…)?

Tony:

From TCL, enter the following commands:

PDISK C:\MY_BLIST

BLIST FILENAME RECORDNAME

PDISK PRN

you can then edit c:\my_blist.

Hope it Helps

Several ways available:

Open a New Record in DOS and give it a valid dos filename (MYSTUFF.TXT)

Open a source program and cut with CTRL+F3

Switch windows and Paste (CTRL+F4)

press F6 and Convert to DOS format. Save it.

Use PDISK:

PDISK MYSTUFF.TXT

BLIST SOURCE_FILE SOURCE_RECORD (LEI)

Use Copy with the DOS option

COPY SOURCE_FILE SOURCE_RECORD TO:(DOS PROGRAM.TXT (I)

I personally like the:

COPY TABLE PROGRAM_NAME TO:(DOS A:\PROGRAM.TXT (I

method myself. The "I" option copies the rows into DOS format. When you are done editing it you can:

COPY DOS A:\PROGRAM.TXT TO:(TABLE PROGRAM_NAME (R

The "R" option converts to Revelation foramt. This copies and converts the text into an AREV row within the table specified. These two are handy if I need to send a program to someone as an E-mail attachment. This way the other person can copy it into there AREV system and run it and change it. Then send back the updated program by the same method.

I work on an AREV 3.12 system. It might be slightly different if you are using a different version.

I hope this helps.

Michael,

Of course, if you're just sending it as an attachment for them to copy into their system, there's no real need to use the (I and (R switches.

Of course, it looks really weird when you open it in notepad when you haven't converted it.
