CpyCnv.exe don't work ? - Symbian

Francis,

CopyCnv should only fail if the data file is corrupt; otherwise, it should=
=20
convert the S3 file correctly. Does this happen with many files?

Hi Mark,

Yes, all files :-((((

In fact, I convert my ASCII files (with TAB separators like Organiser II) t=
o
S3 files with Psion's utility DBCONV.EXE,
and in a second step, I convert my S3 files to Epoc32 files with CpyCnv.exe=
..

Is DBCONV.EXE don't work ?

Many thanks,
Francis Goguelat.

Francis,

Where does dbconv.exe come from? It's not something I've seen before!

Mark

From ODE or PsiWin 1.x
DBCONV.EXE - Version 1.16 (C) Copyright PSION plc 1991
(yes... 1991 sorry ;-)) )
It an utility to convert Organiser II to Series 3x or Work-About

Francis.

Francis,

1991 - that'll be why none of us had heard of it :-)

If you're converting tab-separated ASCII files, you could use Word to=20
replace the tabs with commas, save as a CSV text file & use copycnv=20
to convert it to a Data file.

Alternatively, the only thing I can suggest is that you ask either Psion=20
Computers or Psion Enterprise if they can help.

I try to do this but... copycnv want convert my file to Word (text) file
Epoc or Series 3 and not in Database files !!!!

Why ?

There is not a "simple and easy" program to convert text files to Epoc
Database file IN BATCH MODE like my old utility dbconv, which is a very
quick and simple utility !

It's for a netBook (enterprise computer).
The enterprise have some Host computers (Unix, AS/400 and other
heterogeneous system) and the best way to import files from a host computer=
s
to mobile computers is the ASCII format.

I'm a professional developper and I can't use netBoook or Series 5mx for
this reason (how use a professional application without database ?)

So I search a small utility :
- To convert quickly and easy an ASCII file to Epoc 32 file (database)
- To use this utility in batch mode (in my application, I have 9 files per
netBook X 10 users =3D 90 files to convert each week)
- To use this convert program in local mode (input files convert on PC
without Epoc32 connected)

Is it possible ?


Francis (sorry for my poor English)

Francis,

There aren't any EPOC Connect programs that do what you want in batch mode.=
=20

If you choose to write your own, it'll need to be a Windows console applica=
tion=20
that parses the ASCII text and calls the relevant WINC DBMS functions to cr=
eate=20
the database. This shouldn't require a device to be connected, although so=
me C++=20
SDK libraries will need to be installed. (We've not tried this - just a sug=
gestion.)
