Using ETU 5.01 and above with Autokey Batch Files
The menu for ETU 5.01 and above changed from earlier versions. Some menu options have been moved from the Main menu to a Utility menu, and most all ETU commands have received new menu option numbers. (For example, the FROM3XB command in version 5.0 is option 13. In earlier versions of ETU, the FROM3XB command is option number 1.) These changes may cause some existing Autokey batch files not to work properly.
If you have an Autokey batch file that uses an ETU command line character string (like the one shown below), the batch file should work with ETU 5.01 just as it did with earlier versions.
user[FLX]
pgrmr[ENT]
to3xb qfname1(‘a:\sales.wed’) tofile(wedsales) recl(132)ENT]
[ETU]
If you use an Autokey batch file that calls an ETU command from the ETU menu (like the example shown below), you must modify the batch file (due to changes in the ETU menu). An example of how to modify a batch file is shown below.
user[FLX]
pgrmr[FLX]
wsmenus[ENT]
16[ENT]
a:\sales.wed[FLX]
wedsales[FLX]
[ENT]
[ETU]
Modifying an Autokey Batch File – Example
The Autokey batch file in the example above calls option 16 from the ETU menu. In versions of ETU prior to version 5.01, option 16 was the menu option for the TO3XB command. Because of changes to the ETU menu, the TO3XB command is now menu option 4.
To modify the Autokey batch file in the above example, change line 4 so that it reads 4[FLX] instead of 16[FLX]. Use any text editor or word processor to change the batch file. This change enables the Autokey batch file to be compatible with versions of ETU later than 5.0.
