Save Notepad In Text Processing

[m204prgmr]

It has been awhile and I'm rusty. I'm trying to save Notepad that I've opened and written to and can't seem to connect the dots. Can someone help? thanks

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish but at first glance I think you need to move the launching of notepad above the Text File Begin Process loop.

 

One other thing that I noticed is you are using uppercase letters in your text type commands that open the file. Some programs don't work as well with uppercase letters as with lower case letters.

 

I also think you may need a slight delay after the Alt-f and another one after the a.

And lastly, I do not see where you are saving the file (and possibly closing it) after your Text Type commands.

 

This is what you have:

Text File Begin Process: "AnnArbornames.txt"
 Program Launch: "notepad.exe"
 Variable Set Integer %N1% from Prompt
 Keystroke Speed: 100 Milliseconds
 Text Type: <ALTD>F<ALTU>
 Text Type: A
 Text Type: C:\PT2OKX0%N%.txt<ENTER>
 Delay 10 Seconds
 Variable Set String %T5% from Prompt
 Text Type: //PT2MTX0%N1% JOB ,'PT2MT FTP'<ENTER>
 Text Type: //STEPNAME EXEC PGM=FTP<ENTER>
 Text Type: //*%OPC SCAN<ENTER>
 Text Type: //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*<ENTER>
 Text Type: //OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*<ENTER>
 Text Type: //INPUT DD * <ENTER>
 Text Type: XXX.29.XX.64 5565<ENTER>
 Text Type: FTISTSC TISTSC <ENTER>
 Text Type:  <ENTER>
 Text Type: put 'PT2MT.OUT.%T5%' PT2MT.OUT.%T5% <ENTER>
 Text Type: quit<ENTER>
 Text Type: //*<ENTER>
Text File End Process

You might want to try something like this:

Launch and Activate: "notepad.exe"
Delay 1 Seconds
Text File Begin Process: "AnnArbornames.txt"
 If Not Window Title "Notepad" on top
   Activate Window: "Notepad"
 End If
 Variable Set Integer %N1% from Prompt
 Keystroke Speed: 100 Milliseconds
 Text Type: <ALTD>f<ALTU>
 Delay 0.1 Seconds
 Text Type: a
 Delay 0.1 Seconds
 Text Type: C:\PT2OKX0%N%.txt<ENTER>
 Delay 10 Seconds
 Variable Set String %T5% from Prompt
 Text Type: //PT2MTX0%N1% JOB ,'PT2MT FTP'<ENTER>
 Text Type: //STEPNAME EXEC PGM=FTP<ENTER>
 Text Type: //*%OPC SCAN<ENTER>
 Text Type: //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*<ENTER>
 Text Type: //OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*<ENTER>
 Text Type: //INPUT DD * <ENTER>
 Text Type: XXX.29.XX.64 5565<ENTER>
 Text Type: FTISTSC TISTSC <ENTER>
 Text Type:  <ENTER>
 Text Type: put 'PT2MT.OUT.%T5%' PT2MT.OUT.%T5% <ENTER>
 Text Type: quit<ENTER>
 Text Type: //*<ENTER>
 Text Type: <CTRLD>s<CTRLU>
 Wait for File Ready: "PT2OKX0%N%.txt"
 Delay 0.1 Seconds
Text File End Process

Thanks Kevin

I'll try your suggestion tonight.

How do I save PT2OKX0%N%.txt %N% times once done?

AnnArbor.txt has 63 lines with one word on each line. That's where %T5% is used.

[kevin]

How do I save PT2OKX0%N%.txt %N% times once done?

I don't understand. Why are you saving it %N% times?

 

I see another error that I didn't spot before. %N% is not a valid Macro Express variable. %N1% would be, however.

[m204prgmr]

The objective is to create as many .txt files as there are %N1% variables and to FTP them to the Mainframe.

 

I hope this make sense and I apologize for not stating that earlier
