FC2 Export/import INF catalog to SAM file

FC2 EXP: catalog, file2

Export the documentary text created in CFS by the IM/IA Action Codes to a standard EDT file.

catalog Name of the information catalog to be exported (CFS.INF, or lib.INF).

file2 Name of the SAM file to which the catalog should be exported.

b) SAM File --> ISAM Catalog

FC2 IMP: file1, catalog [, MERGE]

Convert (import) a SAM file containing the information for the CFS catalog into the ISAM format used by CFS for documentary text.

file1 Name of the SAM file with the information text.

catalog Name of the catalog to be created (CFS.INF or lib.INF).

MERGE The data contained within the SAM file is to be merged into an existing catalog.

Standard: The catalog is created from scratch.

c) ISAM Catalog --> PLAM Library

FC2 CON: file1 [, file2] [, P]

file1 CFS Information catalog (ISAM file).

file2 PLAM library (Output).

If file2 is not specified, a temporary library will be created that will afterwards overwrite catalog file1.

The contents of the information catalog will be transfered to an existing, or newly created PLAM library, file2. An element in the library file2 is created for each file description: S/xxxx. If the file description extends over more than one screen (multiple ISAM records), then the data will be separated in the library element by records containing $NEW PAGE.

d) PLAM Library --> ISAM Catalog

FC2 CON: file1 [, file2] [, P]

file1 PLAM library.

file2 CFS Information catalog (Output).

If file2 is not specified, then a tempory information catalog will be created that will afterwards overwrite the PLAM library file1.

The contents of the elements of the PLAM library file1 will be transfered to an existing, or newly created information catalog file2. For each library element t/xxxxx, one or more ISAM records with the key xxxxx will be created in information catalog file2. Multiple records will be written if the PLAM element contains the seperator record $NEW PAGE.

P This option is only meaningful when converting from PLAM to ISAM. The element type designator in the PLAM library is transfered within the ISAM key of the information catalog records. The INF catalog so created can only be used for documentation of elements of a PLAM library.
