CVTFASR

Use the CVTFASR utility to convert a FORMDEF and SETRCPTB pair into BDF (Business unit definition file), GRP (group file), and FOR (form file) files. The existing FORMDEF and SETRCPTB files are not modified or removed.

CVTFASR /FORMDEF /SETRECIP /INI

Parameter	Description
FORMDEF	Enter the name of the form definition file.
SETRECIP	Enter the name of the set recipient file.
INI	Enter the name of the INI file.

The CVTFASR utility reads the specified FORMDEF and SETRECIP files and generates the appropriate BDF, GRP, and FOR files. If you include the INI parameter, the utility opens and reads that INI file. The utility tries to locate these INI options to get the directory locations into which the BDF, GRP and FOR files will be written.

< MasterResource >

  BDFLIB = .\bdflib

  GRPLIB = .\grplib

  FORLIB = .\forlib

If the INI option for one or more of the generated file types is missing, the utility writes the files for that type into the working directory.

Here is an example of the messages you may see when running the CVTFASR utility on Windows:

c:\fap\mstrres\dms1>cvtfasrw /formdef=.\deflib\form.dat /setrecip=.\deflib\setrcptb.dat
