[Download-List] RE: DOWNLOAD the DICT

[Keith Johnson]

Kriss, and all other list readers,

I tried your method; it works as advertised, but some times a method to
send the file without input is a nice alternative, or hard coded.
Like:
LIST DICT GL.ACCTS TO ~/gldict.xml TOXML

I have used "inline prompts" to get around hard coding but was hopping
for a hands free alternative.

This example failed; anyone have a good idea how to make the UNIX ~ work
in UNIDATA?  I have seen PCPERFORM with this but not at the ":" prompt.

The Unidata LIST command (at least in 6.0) has a paramater called TOXML.

So you can run the command like:

LIST DICT GL.ACCTS TO /home/kpdavis/gldict.xml TOXML


FTP the XML file (ASCII trans)  to your PC and then bring it into EXCEL.
It comes into EXCEL very nicely formatted.
