qtp files

[John Backus]

Ken,

So, the earlier method posted only seemed to work with QUIZ and definitely
would not work with what you referred to as UNIXIO files...

Not knowing much UNIX stuff, you might need to do an extra step after QTP
does its thing.  On an HP3000 system which is POSIX compliant, I found a
couple of solutions that were presented to the HP3000 List in answer to a
similar question.  Again, giving credit where credit is due, the providers
of the information have been noted.

answer #1:

Certainly:

        awk ' {print $0 "\r"}' /OLD/FILE/PATH >/NEW/BYTESTREAM/FILE

For each record that awk reads from /OLD/FILE/PATH, the entire record is
stored
in the $0 variable, and then printed with a CR ("\r") appended.

answer # 2:

You might try the following to add or remove CR's...

shell/iX: /bin/awk '{print $0 "\r"}' < posixfile > dosfile

shell/iX: /bin/tr -d '\015' < dosfile > posixfile
