Hi All,

Every so often I see files named "cnvscr.detail" and "cnvscr.out" show up in my $LAWDIR/{prodline} directory. The files appear to be empty.

Can anyone tell me what these are? Any concerns with deleting them?

Thanks!

Kelly

Kelly....

cnvscr is a command that apparently sometime used to convert .scr files. I've never had any use for them, but I don't think it would hurt removing them. However they may just reappear at some point. They also appear in my $LAWDIR/pl as well...

Usage: To convert .scr files to a 2.0 Environment format

A list of forms with detail or long text is put in

/lawdir/prodline/cnvscr.detail

Other program output is put in /lawdir/prodline/cnvscr.out

Conversions:

1. If the form has no '|'s, convert '^' to '~'.

2. Insert '|' where ever I can.

Syntax: cnvscr [-g] [-] ProductLine [SystemCode] [PgmCode(s)]

g - Remove .oldscr (used by bldopd)

- Convert PROG.scr.n
