DOS COMMAND SHELL BATCH FILES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
1 DOS commands may be executed from any DOS BOSS menu by the use of DOS
COMMAND SHELL BATCH FILES. Unlike batch files used to execute menu
activity programs, DOS BOSS will remain in memory.
2 DOS COMMAND SHELL BATCH FILES may be used for improved productivity and
expanded DOS COMMAND SHELL applications.
BATCH FILE MAINTENANCE
1 Select BATCH FILE MAINTENANCE to create a DOS COMMAND SHELL BATCH FILE.
(A) Enter DOS command data like any other batch file.
(B) Assign a batch file name according to the syntax example.
ACTIVITY DEFINITION
1 Enter the following data for COMMAND OR PROGRAM. The .BAT file name
extension is optional.
SHELL FILENAME.BAT
SINGLE KEYSTROKE DATA BACKUP
1 To minimize the loss of valuable data, a backup copy should be maintained.
Several backup copies are even better.
2 The following example illustrates how a batch file might be used to back
up a group of similar files. Since DOS BOSS will clear the display
first, the CLS (clear display) command is not necessary.
ECHO INSERT DATA BACKUP DISK IN DRIVE A:
PAUSE
COPY C:\BOSS\DBX-???? A:
PAUSE
The above COPY command may be replaced by the BACKUP command. Files saved
with the BACKUP command must be restored with the RESTORE command.
