| 2980.1 | PAN? | IDNTCR::RHOTON | John Rhoton @TNO - DTN 871.7947 | Thu Jul 08 1993 12:53 | 5 |

    You may want to take a look at PAN (see ROCKS::PAN).

| 2980.2 | GPC's Index for deletes; PAN for merging. | IOSG::PYE | Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice | Fri Jul 09 1993 09:13 | 17 | 
|  |     There's nothing as standard in either ALL-IN-1's GPC i/f to DEC Notes
    or DEC Notes itself to do merging of conferences.
    
    In GPC, you can do an index of a range of notes by date and then select
    them all for multiple deletion.
    
    As John suggests, the PAN tool will also do mass deletions of
    notes, however it doesn't have a /SINCE = date qualifier. You can do
    deletions of ranges like 300.* - 20.* for example.
    
    To do a merge of two conferences, PAN has a copy notes command which
    will transfer ranges of notes from one conference to another.
    
    Alternatively you could write scripts using ALL-IN-1's GPC functions to
    do similar things.

| 2980.3 | Whereabout of GPC manual | ZPOVC::CHINGYUE |  | Fri Jul 09 1993 12:04 | 9 | 
|  |     Thanks for replying.
    PAN is an internal tool but the requests are from a customer.
    
    Could you let me know where to copy GPC manuals ?
    I'm refering to the one with all the GPC functions. 
    
    Thanks.

| 2980.4 | Location of GPC (NOTES) function documentation | SCOTTC::MARSHALL | Spitfire Drivers Do It Topless | Fri Jul 09 1993 14:24 | 7 | 
|  | All the GPC functions are listed in the ALL-IN-1 Application Programmer's
Reference Manual Volume 2.  This is a standard book in the ALL-IN-1 doc set.
The main function verb is "NOTES", and it has a plethora of sub-functions to
do pretty much everything you could ever want :-)

| 2980.5 | OK for *YOU* to use PAN, even on Customer site... | IOSG::PYE | Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice | Fri Jul 09 1993 15:05 | 12 | 
|  |     If you were going on site to do the work for the customer, you could
    take the PAN tool, use it perform the merge, and then take PAN away
    again. Surely field people do this with internal tools all the time.
    
    It would be silly to write something new just to do this, when PAN can
    do it already.
    
    Of course if the customer is proposing to do this frequently, you're
    either going to make a lot of visits, or you should perhaps suggest a
    different way of working!
