Active Location:  /u/mvs/au/inbox/convert.ksh

Storage Location: /u/mvs/au/test/convert.ksh

A copy of the conversion files are always stored in the /u/mvs/au/test directory. Copy the following files to the /u/mvs/au/inbox directory before you make any changes to them.

Edit the first few lines of the /u/mvs/au/inbox/convert.ksh script to match your situation.

#!/bin/ksh
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This just tests the file conversion programs cvtxx.run
# In production, the MFD has already been updated for this module.
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
test_env=                    # <- @change - location of cvtxx.run
#                            #              null if not a test environment
company=001                  # <- @change - must be 3 digits
mod_number=240               # <- @change
mod_desc="Inventory Control" # <- @change
mod_abbrv=ic                 # <- @change - must be 2 chars, lower case
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# You shouldn't have to change anything beyond this point

mod_number The module number you are testing. again, must be 3 digits
