SRDCMD



          SRDCMD constructs command lines by combining selected file  names
     with  text.   The device, uic, name, extension, and version fields may
     be extracted individually from the selected file  names  and  inserted
     arbitrarily in the command lines being constructed.

     The syntax of the SRDCMD command line is:

             SRDCMD[/PR][/GO] fspec[,fspec...] text[>[>]file]


          "fspec" may be a simple file name, an indirect command file  name
     preceded  by  @, or a file name containing SRD wild card characters or
     switches.  If the file name is an indirect file name, SRDCMD will  se-
     lect  the named files in the indirect file one at a time.  If it is an
     SRD-type file name, SRDCMD will select the files selected by SRD.   In
     either  case,  if  the /PR switch is specified, SRDCMD will prompt you
     with each of the selected file names to see if you want  it  selected.
     Responses to the prompt are:

             Y           Select the file.
             <cr> or N   Don't select the file.
             G           Select this and remaining files with no prompting.
             ^Z          Don't select this file and remaining files.

     If the /GO switch is specified, then the file names will be printed to
     the terminal as they are selected, but no prompting will occur.  If no
     switches are specified, the file names will not be printed as they are
     selected and no prompting will occur.

     Note:  Normal SRD wild card characters and switches may be used
            in  an SRD-type file name;  however, do not use the /SE:
            switch, as this is the default switch.  Also,  only  the
            most recent versions will be selected unless ;* is spec-
            ified.


          "text" is the text of the command  line  that  SRDCMD  will  con-
     struct.   Fields  from  the selected file names may be inserted in the
     command line by prefixing the following characters with the '  (quote)
     character in the "text":

             'D  Insert the device name.

             'U  Insert the uic.

             'N  Insert the name.

             'E  Insert the extension.

             'V  Insert the version number.

             '&  Insert the whole file name, excluding the version number.

             ''  Insert a ' (quote).

             '>  Insert a > (greater-than sign).

          The default output of SRDCMD goes to the terminal;   to  redirect
     it  to a new file, specify >FILE at the end of the command line, or to
     append to an existing file specify >>FILE at the end  of  the  command
     line.  The default extension for FILE is .CMD .


     SRDCMD is located on LB:[22,2].  If you type:

             PDS> XEQ/APPEND LB:[22,2]

     then you can use XEQ to run SRDCMD.


     Example:

             PDS> XEQ SRDCMD V*.FTN COPY '& [6,50]'N.FOR>T

     This command writes command lines to T.CMD which copy .FTN  files  be-
     ginning with a V to [6,50] with .FOR as the new extension.
