Super Q Pointer Question

#11

Thanks, Frank.

I determined that d3 print hold files contain a null attribute at the end of
the item. Maybe someone here can explain why that is and a way to suppress
it.

1) a super 'Q' pointer on a .nix system should look like:

md item: anyname
001 Q
002
003 unix:/yourshare/yoursubdirectory

You can also stick remarks on attribute 17.
Erm, at least in D3; dunno about other pick-like flavors...

There is a carriage return at the end of the last line of your document.

Unless you use a construct like PRINT JUNK:

there will always be a carriage ruturn at the end of the data. The area
between that final CR and the end of the frame is filled with x00 nulls and
are ignored by the conversion process, but the trailing carriage reutrn is
left there.

Either live with it or stip it out yourself like

OPEN 'PEQS' TO F1
OPEN "DOS:dospath" TO F2 THEN READ RPT FROM F1,"123" THEN WRITE
RPT[1,LEN(RPT)-2] ON "123.TXT"

You can remove the nulls from your print jobs by piping through tr:
