| PublicationDate: 7/1/96 Summary: EDExpress Renaming Files after Importing Author: CPS - Central Processing System (CPS) To: EDExpress Destination Points From: CPS Customer Service Date: July 1, 1996 Re: EDExpress Renaming Files after Importing There have been questions regarding the renaming of files after the files are imported into EDExpress (for example: SARA97OP to SARA97BK). This feature was added to EDExpress at the request of users. By renaming imported files, the pick list associated with a message class will be shorter and easier to manage because it displays only files to be imported. This allows users to differentiate between files to be imported and those already imported. In version 2.2 of EDExpress for Windows, a change was implemented to rename all import files sequentially. In version 4.3 of EDExpress for DOS, the software was changed to serialize the files as well; however, this change was not done for error files. To provide consistency within the software, a change will be implemented in version 4.4 to rename the error files as well. WINDOWS INSTRUCTIONS To view a pick list of ALL files for a message class, select FILE | IMPORT. Click on the Import Type, down arrow and highlight the correct file type. Click on FILE in the IMPORT FROM box. Change the default file name from OP.* to *.* (for example: SARA97OP.* to SARA97*.*). To view a pick list of already imported files for a message class, select FILE | IMPORT. Click on the Import Type, down arrow and highlight the correct file type. Click on FILE in the IMPORT FROM box. Change the default file name from OP.* to BK.* (for example: SARA97OP.* to SARA97BK.*). DOS INSTRUCTIONS To view a pick list of ALL files for a message class, within Application Processing module, select IMPORT, the type of data (ie, ISIR, errors), and finally the specific data you want to view. Once the data entry box displays, change the default file name to *.DAT to *.* (for example: SARA97*.DAT to SARA97*.*). To view a pick list of already imported files for a message class, within Application Processing module, select IMPORT, the type of data (ie, ISIR, errors), and finally the specific data you want to view. Once the data entry box displays, change the default file name to *.DAT to BK.* (for example: SARA97*.DAT to SARA97BK.*). In both software platforms, you change the Import File default in Set Up | File Maintenance to whatever works best for your destination point.
