=DCL-EXPAND, Utilities, Self-Expanding DCL; lists; mail merges David Cressey 1999-05-21 V5.0JEXPAND is a utility for generating repetitive scripts, called expansions.KEXPAND generates an expansion by applying a list to a template. This worksLmuch the same way as a mail merge facility generates a mailing by applying a mailing list to a form letter. LExpansions, lists, and templates are all text files. This means you can useHa text editor to prepare or revise lists and templates before expanding,@and you can also use a text editor to revise an expansion after.HI wrote EXPAND to help me with certain chores that recur in my work as aJdatabase consultant. Most of the expansions I generate are scripts in SQLMor DCL. I have also generated code fragments in languages like C. You could9use it for scripts in just about any text based language.HYou can use the same list with many templates, and you can use the sameItemplate with many lists. For such a small tool, the flexibility you getis surprising.
