Filling a sequential file from an array

[vmcburney]

You can do this from a Routine called from a Batch or Sequence job. The OpenSeq statement opens a sequential file, Writeseq outputs a row to the file. Page 13-24 of the Server Developers manual contains the commands for Sequential File Processing. Here is an example from the manual, you just need to convert it to loop through the array or add the output commands to the code that creates the array:

OpenSeq PathName To FileVar Then
WeofSeq FileVar ;* write end-of-file mark immediately
WriteSeq "First line" To FileVar Else
On Error
Call DSLogWarn("Error from ":PathName:" status=":Status(),"MyRoutine")
GoTo ErrorExit
End
Call DSLogFatal("Cannot write to ":Pathname, "MyRoutine")
GoTo ErrorExit
End
End Else
Call DSLogFatal("Cannot open file ":Pathname, "MyRoutine")
GoTo ErrorExit
End
