Generating file equations

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

I'd probably use Quiz to build the file equations and put them into a
temporary file. Then I'd use the file in the same execution of Quiz. Quiz is
probably up to the task and, given a choice, I'd use it over Quick in batch.

MPE specific example follows, you Vax lot can hit delete right now!

!file yourname;temp
!quiz
set rep dev disc nam yourname
set pag len 1 wid 72
set nohead noblanks close
access whatever-you-need
def d-file-equate-1 cha*40 = ":file phd=phd.yourgroup"
def d-file-equate-2 cha*40 = ":file quizlist;dev=" + yourdevice
rep &
ski 1 tab 1 d-file-equate-1 &
ski 1 tab 1 d-file-equate-2
go
use yourname
exit
!purge yourname,temp

John Pickering
