GJS: KB0113

How do I Control Which Components are Taken On and Take On Components which are Not of Type "R"?

A routine called %vc413 is available which is a template for stages 2 and 3 below. If you do not have this, please ask us for the latest version.

Set up the logical location to load from. This must include a mapping for R type components to an M physical location.
Set up the following global nodes for the components to be loaded:

^%vcsel(listName)=numberOfComponentsInList\R ^%vcsel(listName,componentType_"."_fullComponentName)=""

For example:

set ^%vcsel("workfile1")="3\R" set ^%vcsel("workfile1","MAC.abcdef")="" set ^%vcsel("workfile1","T.cam/web/index.htm")="" set ^%vcsel("workfile1","BIN.cam/images/logo.gif")=""

If the components are binary or text files, you can pipe a directory listing to a file, then open this in M and read in the contents.
If the object names do not correspond to the component names (which they probably won't if the components are binary or text files which include a path), write M code which will set up global nodes linking the component type, name and object name. See article KB0002 for details of this.
If required, set up a change request for the take-on.
Run the Load function from the Manager menu.
Enter the logical location from stage 1.
At the "Routine(s)" prompt, enter @ and the name of the list you created in stage 2, eg "@workfile1". The prompt text changes. Press <return> to move on from here.
Fill in the other prompts as usual and run the Load function.
