Are you all repeating the LEP in a loop? I am calling SysDoc_Find like this…
vNewFolderPath:=Select folder("Select the the parent folder that contains all
documents... ";1)
ALL RECORDS([Document])
$size:=Records in selection([Document])
For ($i;1;$size)
GOTO SELECTED RECORD([Document];$i)
$documentToFind:=[Document]File_Name
$pathToDocumentFound:=SysDoc_Find ($documentToFind;vNewFolderPath)
End for
Do not know how to do a loop like this in the command line. what does it look
like?
