Hi,
I'm on a HP3000.
PH 8.3.

I sometimes have to import some ascii data into quiz subfiles.
I have been doing this using portable subfiles but I have found another
little trick.
Probably been around fro donkey's years but it's new to me.

ACCESS databasefile
cho CLIENTNO PARM PROMPT
set subfile name SF1 keep
rep sum CLIENTNO
go
1234
5678
etc, all pasted into the quiz file from wherever.
That gets me my list of numbers into the SF1.


Now, I would like to smarten this up a bit - if possible -
and get the list to be in a separate text file : "TEXTFILELIST."
That way I could have the programme separate from the CLIENTNO data.

Anyone know how this can be done?

TIA
Wayne
