QUICK

[Rob Lobbe]

Chris,

Does work.

I use it as a quick way to generate TEST data. (pardon the pun...)

PROCEDURE INITIALIZE
BEGIN

    DO stuff... (usually a loop with counter)

    RETURN
END

I gather that you want to create/run a sequence of key-strokes/commands from
a QKIN file.
This involves defining the QKIN logical to point to the QKIN.TXT file.
I haven't done it this way before as the JOB would need to know this detail
before it runs. As the job is run in batch there should be no user input (no
QKIN) anyway.

(from your note) remember all the QK... logicals are defaults, once the
image (QUICK) is activated it only checks for the presence of these
logicals. The image does not create them.

An alternative may be to $RUN/DETACHED/INPUT=in-file/OUTPUT=out-file QUICK
AUTO=screen.qkc
You can then set-up all your logicals/symbols before running the QUICK image
(the logicals/symbols get passed to the detached process).

No need to move the image to SYS$SYSTEM if you define the path/filename eg.
PH_LOCATION:QUICK710G2.EXE

I've deleted the original mail. I don't know the relevance of the above, in
context with the original request.
