Conversion of RDT Files
D–2 104706 Tandem Computers Incorporated
The HLSCRDT program creates an EDIT format file that defines those objects defined
by the old key-sequenced file. Once converted, the key-sequenced version should be
archived, and all subsequent maintenance functions should be performed based upon
this EDIT format file using conventional editors such as EDIT and TEDIT. The RUN
command for HLSCRDT has the following syntax:
RUN HLSCRDT / options / ; ks-filename text-filename
/ options /
are standard command interpreter options.
ks-filename
is the name of the key-sequenced file previously maintained by RDT-MENU. This
is frequently named RDTKSFLE.
text-filename
is the name of the file that is created to contain the translated text statements.
Note The semicolon (;) is required.
For example, assuming that the RDT data to be converted is currently located in the
file RDTKSFLE, you execute the following steps:
1. Initiate the conversion procedure by entering the
following command:
RUN HLSCRDT ; RDTKSFLE RDTTEXT
2. Run the HLSRDT program with parameters such as:
RUN HLSRDT/IN RDTTEXT, OUT $S.#LP/RDTDATA
The result is an RDT database (RDTDATA) equivalent to what was generated by the
earlier RDT compiler.
