Parameter |
Description |
|
/O |
The old archive directory, where the old archive files are stored. |
|
/N |
The new archive directory, where the new archive files will be stored. |
|
/F |
The forms directory, where the corresponding FAP files are stored. |
|
/I |
(Optional) The file name for a single file conversion. |
|
/R |
(Optional) The file name restart point. |
Convert all forms and then run this utility. The Windows archive subdirectory must be empty when you start the utility, otherwise you may lose data.
Here is an example:
ARCCVW32 /O=\PPS\RESLIB\SAMPCO\ARC /N=\PPSWIN\MSTRRES\SAMPCO\ARC /F=PPSWIN\MSTRRES\SAMPCO\FORMS
After the conversion is complete, you must copy the APPIDX.DFD file to the new archive subdirectory. These conversion steps are necessary for every company library in the DOS PPS system.
