Syntax

VRF2EXP /I /O /F /KEY1 /KEY2 /INI /D

Parameter

Description

/I

Enter the name of the file you want to convert. If you omit the extension, the system defaults to VRF though the input file can have any extension. If the input file does not have an extension, add a period to the end of the file name.

/O

(Optional) Enter a file name for the output Documaker file. If you omit this parameter, the input name will be used with the extension of DAP. Since a Documaker Desktop-style import file typically has an extension of DAT, you may want to use this parameter and be sure to specify the extension.

/F

(Optional) Choose from these types of output formats:

0 - Documaker Desktop-style import file

1 - a flat extract file

2 - INI file

Examples of these formats are at the end of this topic. The default is zero (0) for a Documaker Desktop-style import file.

KEY1

(Optional) Enter the value you want to assign as the Key1 value. The utility writes this value to column 10 of the M record in the extract file it generates.

KEY2

(Optional) Enter the value you want to assign as the Key2 value. The utility writes this value to column 51 of the M record in the extract file it generates.

/INI

(Optional) If you chose to create a Documaker Desktop-style import file, the utility looks for an INI file. By default, the utility looks for a file named VRF2EXP.INI in the current directory. If not found, the program will try to continue on without it.

/D

(Optional) Include this parameter to run the utility in Using Debug Mode.
