Instruction Suggestions: A Rewrite

["Launder, Tom" <tlaunder -at- synteract -dot- com>]

Hello list,

I want thank the many of you who responded with suggestions.  I have to say
this is an amazingly friendly and helpful group of people.  I've gone ahead
and rewritten my section.  I can't thank you enough.  I knew that section
was terribly muddy and it reads clearly now.  If you have any further
suggestions or comments, please feel free to share them.  I hope I haven't
made a big mistake in this email by using "tabs" to try and show the
indentation.  I'll find out soon enough.

I will use HTML tags to represent formatting:

<h2>How Do I Make a Discrepancy Retrieval File?</h2>

This procedure creates a file to view in DataFax that only contains the
records that have discrepant data fields.   

Before you begin you need to change to the <b>work</b> directory.

If outside the <b>dde</b> directory:

	1.	In the <b>xterm</b> window,  type:

		cd /dat/client##/client name/protocol/work.  

		Example: cd /dat/client35/maxia/mx6-17/work

	2.	Press <b>Enter</b>. The system will change to the
/dat/client##/client name/protocol directory. 

If in the <b>dde</b> directory:

	1.	In the </b>xterm</b> window, type:

		<b>cd ..</b>

	2.	Press <b>Enter<b>. The system will change to the
/dat/client##/client name/protocol directory.


	3.	In the <b>xterm</b> window, type:

		<b>cd work</b>

	4.	Press <b>Enter</b>.  The system will change to the work
directory 		(see figure X)

 
	<center><b>Figure X</b></center>

To make a discrepancy retrieval file:

1.	In the <b>xterm</b> window, type:

	DFdde.vrf study# -set filename > dateptret.drf.  

	Example: DFdde.vrf 50 -set 091401pt50403entry2a >
091401pt50403ret.drf

2.	Press <b>Enter</b>.  The system will create the discrepancy
retrieval 	file. 

Take care,

Tom Launder
