Logging on to FILEMGMT

The FILEMGMT subsystem must be started before you can use the following methods to log on to the FILEMGMT facility. If the subsystem has not been started, contact your dictionary administrator.

To log on to the FILEMGMT facility, choose one of the following methods:

  • Select the File Management option from the Dictionary /204 main menu.

    Note: The absence of the File Management option from your main menu means you are not authorized to use this facility.

  • Invoke FILEMGMT from the primary screen of another Dictionary/204 or Workshop/204 facility by issuing the INVOKE command. The command syntax is:

    INVoke FILEMGMT

  • Call the FILEMGMT subsystem from the Model 204 command prompt by typing the subsystem name:

    > FILEMGMT

  • If using the RKTools main menu, select the FileMGmt menu item. If using RKWeb, select Manage > File Management to display the FILEMGMT primary screen, which Janus Web Legacy Support serves to your web browser.

FILEMGMT primary screen

The FILEMGMT primary screen is displayed when you log on to FILEMGMT:

FILEMGMT File Management VER 7 REL 5 Filename: Enter option number in one prefix area _ File _ Field _ Record _ Field Group _________________________ __________ __________ ______________ 1 CREATE 7 INCREASE 1 DEFINE 1 Define 1 Define 2 RESET 8 DECREASE 2 REDEFINE 2 Redefine 2 Redefine 3 Delete 9 SECURE 3 DELETE 3 Delete 3 Delete 4 ReCREATE 10 DESECURE 4 RENAME 4 Rename 4 Rename 5 Copy 11 INITIALIZE 5 Copy 5 Copy 6 Size Field, Record or Field Group Name: ===> 1=HELp 2=DOCument 3=QUIt 4= 5= 6=COMmands 7= 8= 9=DELcmds 10= 11= 12=

Capitalized function names refer to actual Model 204 commands (for example, CREATE, DECREASE). Function names in mixed case refer to functions that FILEMGMT performs upon dictionary entries only.

You can select a maintenance function from these categories:

File maintenance Creates a new Model 204 file, determines the size of a file, recreates or modifies the parameters of an existing file, deletes or copies a file, and performs other file maintenance functions.
Field maintenance Defines fields for a new or existing file, changes existing field names or attributes, and performs other field maintenance functions.
Record maintenance Defines records for a new or existing file, changes existing record names or characteristics, and performs other record maintenance functions.
Field Group maintenance Defines field groups for a new or existing file, changes existing field group names or contents, and performs other field group maintenance functions.
