I do this using a two main tools. A DP report generates a batch file with the extension BTM. This uses Take Command, which is a more powerful command shell (see http://www.jpsoft.com/tcmddes.htm). Take command is not required, but allows subroutines with called variables. I test to see if a file exists, and then create a file (edox.txt) that lists all the MISSING files. Not sure this code will make sense, but here is part of a subroutine: :COPYweb [DIR FNAME TIFNAME WEBDIR JOUR] IFF EXIST "%DIR\%WEBDIR\%FNAME" THEN RETURN ELSE echo missing file "%DIR\%WEBDIR\%FNAME" FROM "%JOUR" > c:\next.txt COPY /Y C:\EDOX.TXT + C:\NEXT.TXT C:\EDOX.TXT ENDIFF RETURN Then I email the file to myself using CSSMTP, a command line email program (see http://www.codestone.ltd.uk/software/docs/cssmtp/cssmtp.html if interested). Again, this is not necessary, but I like getting the email. Sometimes I create a web file and then you can just load the web file to see what is missing. Lots of ways to get it done. ________________________________
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Kendall Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 2:47 PM To: Dataperfect Users Discussion Group Subject: [Dataperf] (no subject) I would like to create a DP report to check for missing PDF files. The PDF files are named with consecutive numbers. I thought the "iinclude filename in RV" function might work but I don't have any documentation on how to use it. All I want to do is verify that a PDF filename exists to match each filename my DP report generates. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
