Section 3. Report: SPLIT
PC208W, Version 3.3, Instruction Manual 3-39
By adding the Start /w parameter to the command line that initiates SPLITR,
no further commands will be processed until the LOGAN.PAR file has
finished execution.
3.6.4 Command Line Switches
SPLITR has three switches that can be used to control how files are processed.
3.6.4.1 Closing the SPLITR.EXE Program After Execution (/R Switch)
Typically when SPLIT is run, after the file is processed the user must close the
Screen Display window. When SPLITR.EXE is run from a command line, the
user must also close the Screen Display window unless the /R switch is used.
The syntax for this switch is:
SPLITR LOGAN/R
The /R switch should follow immediately after the parameter file name with no
space between the two. If a space is used, the following message will be
displayed "There was a problem opening the input file. File could not be found
or may be in use."
3.6.4.2 Running SPLITR in a Minimized State (/H Switch)
SPLITR can be run in a minimized state, so that the Screen Display window
does not interrupt other processes on the computer. The syntax for running
SPLITR minimized is:
SPLITR /H LOGAN
The /H switch must be positioned after SPLITR but before the parameter file
name, and a space is required between the executable name and the switch.
3.6.4.3 Running Multiple Copies of SPLITR (/M Switch)
Multiple copies of SPLITR can be run at one time by using the /M switch.
This switch must appear immediately after SPLITR. For instance, a batch file
or PC208W task containing the lines:
SPLITR /M Logan/R
SPLITR /M Sinks/R
will open two copies of SPLITR and process the two files simultaneously.
When using the /M switch in a batch file under Windows NT,
you must begin each line of the batch file that runs an instance of
SPLITR with the "start" command. Otherwise, NT will wait until
the first SPLITR command has finished before proceeding to the
next. NOTE
