CONVERT.EXE - Not Recognizing Percent Sign Fi
DocumentID: 654175

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: A customer was using the Convert Program to convert a DOS delimited file to a WordPerfect secondary merge file. For the field delimiter, he entered the percent sign (%). The conversion did not work properly. The command line ignores the % parameter, unless it's entered as the ASCII code {37}.

For Example:
Incorrect: C:\> CONVERT TEST.TXT TEST.SEC 9 % {13}{10} {34}

Correct: C:\> CONVERT TEST.TXT TEST.SEC 9 {37} {13}{10} {34}
