CNV reads records from an RMS-11 file of any type and loads them into another RMS-11 file of any type. CNV uses standard RMS-11 file access methods. IFL is the most efficient method of populating empty indexed files (type HELP IFL). To invoke installed CNV: MCR>CNV[command string] DCL>MCR CNV[command string] To invoke uninstalled CNV: RUN $RMSCNV Type HELP CNV COMMAND for an explanation of CNV's command line. Type HELP CNV SWITCHES for an explanation of CNV's switches. See the RMS-11 User's Guide for more information. 2 COMMAND The general form of CNV's command line is: outfile[/switch(...)]=infile[/switch] outfile - the filespec of the file that is to receive the records of the input file. Wild cards are not allowed. The default version for sequential (specified with /AP or /SU), indexed, and relative files is the highest version; for sequential files without /AP or /SU, the highest version + 1. Relative and indexed output files must exist. infile - the filespec of the file from which records will be read. Wild cards are not allowed. Do not use a BCK back-up file. 2 SWITCHES Type Format Description Default String ?
