AUDIX Administration and Data Acquisition Package 585-302-502 Issue 17

May 2002

Using the ADAP Command Line Language

11-19Command Line Commands

Delimiters

You can change the output character string delimiter from double quotes (") to a

delimiter of your choice. To change the delimiter, set an environment variable

named DLIM to the character you want to use as the delimiter. For example, enter

the following command at the DOS prompt or in the autoexec.bat file.

set DLIM=&

If DLIM is not initialized in this way, the PC system software uses double quotes

(") as the default. For instructions on how to initialize DLIM, see the description of

the autoexec.bat file in your MS-DOS manual.

Output Field Separator

You can use the environment variable OFS, for Output Field Separator, when

communicating with R1 AUDIX systems to specify a single character for

separating the output from the ADAP command line utilities. For example, enter

the following command at the DOS prompt or in the autoexec.bat file.

set OFS=*

Subsequently, an execution of getmlist with an R1V7 may produce output

formatted as follows:

"PERFS1"*"0"*"audix"

"PERFS2"*"29"*"audix"

"PERFT1"*"26"*"audix"

"STL01"*"31"*"audix"

"STS01"*"32"*"audix"

"STT01"*"14"*"audix"

"STT02"*"15"*"audix"

"pluto"*"30"*"audix"

If the OFS is not set, commas are used as output field separators by default. If the

environment variable OFS is set to a character string of length greater than one,

ADAP ignores OFS; and the ADAP commands use commas as separators.

For instructions on how to initialize OFS, see the description of the autoexec.bat

file in your MS-DOS manual. Only commas can be used as the OFS when

communicating with a DEFINITY AUDIX or I

NTUITY AUDIX system.

Backward Compatibility

In adding features to each release of the voice mail system software, fields have

been added and deleted from the screens with which ADAP interacts. As the

voice mail releases evolves, new fields were added to the end of the ADAP record

formats. If fields have been deleted from any screens in the development of a new

release from a previous one, the ADAP command puts into the output a

placeholding value.
