Setting Up a Different Folder for eFORMz PCL Files in an iSeries (AS/400) Environment
The Director Toolkit’s post-processing can be used to set up a different folder for the final destination of eFORMz PCL files in an iSeries environment. IFS files should be handled with shell scripts. The one line contents of this shell script handle the renaming of any number of files in the /minisoft/input/from directory.
Listed below, there is the Director External Command, the script file contents, a screenshot of the Director Toolkit setting, and a short log fragment of this process in action.
QSH CMD('/minisoft/rename_pcl.sh')
$ cat /minisoft/rename_pcl.sh cd /minisoft/input/from; for file in *.tmp; do base=`basename "$file" tmp`; mv "$file" "$base"pcl; done
