3840.0. "Distribution Lists from text files" by TROOA::DARNEL () Tue Feb 01 1994 22:30

    
    I have had several requests for creating distribution lists from text
    files.  Is there any way to read text files into ALL-IN-1 distribution
    lists, so that users don't have to enter the names manually?
    
    
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    
    Yes it would be possible. For an example of how to create a
    Distribution List see the script OA$DO:GS_DL_FROM_GROUP.SCP. 
    
    Cheers

    Further, it would depend on what format the text file was in.
    
    A simple loop with DCL using FAO or ALL-IN-1 script to get a suitably
    formatted file in the File Cabinet is all you need to do.
