Performing SYSUAF CONVERT?

» close window

The Question is:

 
dO YOU HAVE SAMPLE DCL  UAF CONVERSION PROCEDURES FOR ME TO REVIEW?

The Answer is :

 
  The literal answer would be "no", though your offer to review the
  OpenVMS Wizard's DCL code and coding style is appreciated.
 
  As the question is terse, the OpenVMS Wizard will assume that this is
  not a question of the SYSUAF file record format conversions (as has
  happened at various OpenVMS releases), but is a question of the use
  of the RMS CONVERT utility.
 
  The SYSUAF.DAT file is an RMS indexed file and procedures such as
  EDIT/FDL, ANALYZE/RMS/FDL, and CONVERT/FDL all apply.
 
  A typical sequence of DCL commands used for indexed file optimization
  and a file conversion follows:
 
$ ANALYZE/RMS/FDL/OUT=SYSUAF.FDL SYSUAF.DAT
$ EDIT/FDL/NOINTERACTIVE/ANALYSIS=SYSUAF.FDL/OUT=SYSUAF_OPT.FDL SYSUAF.FDL
$ CONVERT/FDL=SYSUAF_OPT.FDL SYSUAF.DAT SYSUAF.DAT
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard would encourage accessing and reading the OpenVMS
  RMS documentation, as well as the documentation on the CONVERT tool.
