I have a D3/NT from a customer that I need to get
100,000+ items out into ascii on the windows side.
No FSI is set up. I was wondering what the fastest
way to accomplish this was?

I was thinking of setting up a new device (pseudo tape)
to a nt directory/file and then doing a WRITEt to that device
thinking that may do the trick.

I need the items to be a row in the dos file with end of item
markers changed to "crlf" thats it, everything stays intact.

Suggestions?

If D3 is the same as PI / UV, just read your BASIC manual for OPENSEQ
and WRITESEQ. Do a loop reading each record in turn from the Pick file,
writing it out using WRITESEQ, and there you are...

FSI should not be a necessity for writing VME items to DOS.

Open a DOS folder using the OSFI service: OPEN "C:/FOLDERPATH" TO FV

Then you can use WRITEV to add lines. OSFI will convert Attr marks to
cr's so you don't have to convert anything, just write items.
