I was just doing my normal course of work. You've seen me work with Double
Vision quite often. I build little scripts to run rcabe with a specific prc
table, and an associated script to run dreport with the same processing...
all generally right into a file that is immediatley put on the screen and so
forth. I know this is just a wish-list thing... but it has been on the
wish-list so very long... I would venture to say 15+ years or more.
Can you get in the next release the ability for dmoedef to take the filename
and format as agruments. In other word make it like rcabe. It would just be
so convenient for me (and EVERYONE). Since I spend so much of my time just
typing these things...
Just hoping this is as little an add-in as I'm guessing it is. Do it anyway
you like first arg=filename, secondarg=format... or use a switch -f
filename, -F format. Who cares. Anything will do.
If the version is locked down and in beta... so be it. I suppose this little
thing can stand in line with the other wish-list things that have to wait.
No harm in asking, right?
(Jeez, I hope this doesn't cause a slew of similar "Can you squeeze this
thing in, i'ts more important than John's...." I'm sure there are a whole
lot of things more important than this. But, well, I guess this is a thing
that bothers me a lot every day... and I thought of sending this email
first. :-) Hopefully, it will just draw a yes/no response and not cause any
firestorm thread of quicky add-ons..... though as I think it... wouldn't
this be the best time to try? Go for it... who cares... Ken et al, can
ignore it/them as they see fit.
