The FMS/CONVERT command will convert a TDMS form that is stored in the CDD to an FMS form file. Warning messages will be issued for any TDMS features that cannot be converted to FMS. Informational messages will be issued for any TDMS features that FMS does not support. Example: FMS/CONVERT/LOG CDD$TOP.STANSBURY.HELP_FORM The TDMS form HELP_FORM is extracted from the CDD and output into the FMS HELP_FORM.FRM form file.
1 – Parameter
The FMS/CONVERT command requires one parameter: the CDD path name for the TDMS form. The normal CDD defaulting rules will apply (e.g., CDD$DEFAULT, if defined, can be used). If the CDD path name contains a hyphen or a CDD password, the path name must be enclosed in quotes.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /LOG
/LOG /NOLOG (D) The /LOG qualifier produces two messages on the SYS$OUTPUT device: the first shows the the name of the form being extracted and the second shows the name of the output form file. If the /NOOUTPUT qualifier is specified along with /LOG, the second message is not printed. The /NOLOG qualifier will disable both messages.
2.2 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=file_spec] (D) /NOOUTPUT The /OUTPUT qualifier allows you to assign a name to the output form file. The default output file name is the CDD object name of the TDMS form. The default output file type is .FRM. The /NOOUTPUT qualifier can be used to suppress output.
