Couple of stuckees looking for help. Got a request from a user for

the source code that resides on our AREV system. Not looking for AREV

source code. Looking for R/BASIC source code in an ASCII format that

we can ship to another mapped drive in the system.

We realize this is pretty basic, but like I said, we're just the

stuckees. Any and all help is appreciated.

I am not sure if the following is what you mean but I will give it a try :

If you want to bring AREV source code (or other records) to DOS please do the following :

F5

COPY SOURCE "source name" TO:(DOS "path"\"dosname

Now you can transfer the record if needed and do the opposite on the other site.

Good luck

If you are sending the source code to an Arev application on your mapped drive then maybe you would want to do a SETFILE and then a COPYROW. That would put your source code right into the table you want.

Do an F5 to get a TCL line.

Enter SETFILE and return. This will give you a little screen that will lead you thru the prompts. You should be able to do an F1 on any prompt to get more information on what goes in what. With this process you can basically attach with an alias name a file in another Arev application and use it as if it was in your current application. So if I was in my develop account but needed to copy a row from my programming table in the live account I would do something like:

SETFILE LIVE LIVE MIKES_BP LIVE_MIKES_BP

Once that connection is made I can then do a COPYROW to or from LIVE_MIKES_BP as if it was a table that I had in the current account everytime I logged in. So I could do something from TCL like:

COPYROW LIVE_MIKES_BP row(s) TO:(DEVELOP_BP

I don't need the row(s) names a second time if they are going to be the same as in the Live account. Again you could just type in COPYROW and return at TCL and a little window will come up and help guide you thru the process.

I hope this helps,
