TTLEXT: Extract Titles from Title File

Last updated 19 Nov 97

TTLEXT is used to extract the titles in a Task, Module, or Variable Title file into a standard text file. The format of the output matches the appropriate form defined in the Common Cards document.

Program Invocation

The specific syntax for program invocation varies between operating systems. This document diplays the code for the AIX version.


@codap ttlext <opt> <ssss> <it> <ot> <op>

opt:     Program Options (none currently supported)
ssss:    The study number
it:      The input Title file
ot:      The output titles text file
op:      The output pointers text file (applies only to a Module Title file)

Example

@codap ttlext - ssss mt999 modt modp

This example extracts the titles and pointer from Module Title file mt999. This is useful when the modules are created through some automated method (such as GRPMOD), yet minor changes are desired. Instead of typing all the titles and pointers in by hand, the user can make minor changes to the extracted text files, and then recreate a new Module Title file with the program MODULE.
