Generating records in OFS format

Here's my problem,



I need to move data (quickly) between two environments. Although, I can use DL.DEFINE to pass these records accross, I would like another option.



Does anyone know of a process/routine where I can pass an application name and POSSIBLY a list of id's (or ALL) to generate an OFS message for all the application records?



For Example, at the jBase prompt if I specified CATEGORY, the program would generate a OFS message with all the CATEGORY CODES.



MANY THANKS...TIA!

Hi Farkat,



Try to use COPY.RECORDS.IHLD. It may helpful to you. This will copy the records from one env to another.



Cheers

The reason I wanted to use the OFS messages, so that I can re-use the same messsaes to recreate the environments with minimal user intervention.



I was also thinking of possibly using the DL.DEFINE XML option to create the XML records, and use that to create the OFS messages. Any ideas?



TIA,



Fatkat

Check in downloads section. I have uploaded a program which generates OFS messages for any application. This was tested for some basic applications in G14 release on jBASE 4.1.
