SUBMISSION NAME: CHGDSP

PLATFORM: VMS v5.5-2 or higher

SYNERGY VERSION: Synergy v5.7.9 or higher

DESCRIPTION: VMS - Migrating from DISPLAY to W_xxxx routines

This command file facilitates the migration from DISPLAY statements to usage of the W_XXXX routines by changes the following Synergy Language elements:

DISPLAY(        to  XCALL W_DISP(CUR_WINDOW
$SCR_POS(n1, n1)    to  WD_POS, n1, n2
$SCR_CLR(?)     to  WD_CLR, ?
$SCR_ATT(?)     to  WD_ATTR+ATTR_LOAD+?

Of course, YOU have to put in the XCALL W_PROC statement to CREATE the CUR_WINDOW window, as a default, 24 line, 80 column window, and place it at line 1 column 1

Usage:

$@CHGDSP file.dbl
