>> here what is p2 and 'p2
and is (record) means my record or it is only a keyword ?
p1 through p8 are 'automatic' names for command file arguments.
>> Hein p1 param1(input file), p2(ouput file) that is okey but with ' it understand it is a veriable??
You can use typed in text there, or used variable substitutions: 'your-variable-for-filename'
If this is part of a larger script, then I would just embed the core of the code, and not stick it in a seperated command files.
Untested/unfished hint:
$file_loop:
$close/nolog in
$close/nolog out
$inname = f$search("input*.dat")
$if infile.eqs."" then exit
$outname = f$parse(inname,,,"name") + ".out"
$open/error=file_loop in 'inname
$create 'outname
$open/append out 'outname
$record_loop:
$read/end=file_loop in record
$write out f$fao(record)
$goto record_loop
or...
$ i = 0
$file_loop:
$ i = i + 1
$close/nolog in
$close/nolog out
$name = f$fao("batch_!4ZL",i)
$inname = name + ".dat"
$outname = name + ".out"
$open/error=done in 'inname
$create 'outname
$open/append out 'outname
$record_loop:
$read/end=file_loop in record
$write out f$fao(record)
$goto record_loop
$done:
$write "Done. Could not open file: " inname
$exit
Happy learnings,
Hein.
