Saving Historical Data Files

To save the historical data files, do the following:
1. Put a formatted diskette into drive A on your PC, or use the one you just
copied the system tables file to. Be sure to close the locking bar.
2. Make certain you are in MS-DOS and you have the DOS prompt. From
the CMS Administration Menu, you can press [F8] (Exit to DOS) to get to
the prompt.
3. Type
cd c:\cms\cmsrept
4. Type a series of commands in the form
copy c:dyymmdd.cms a:
where yymmdd is the date on which data were collected. For example,
if you want the historical data file for 04/19/90, you would copy the file
d900419.cms, where d stands for data, 900419 is the date, and .cms is
the file extension.
To copy 10 days' data at a time, for instance, files from 07/20/90
through 07/29/90, type a command in this format:
copy c:d90072?.cms a:
Note the "?" after the 2 in the filename. The "?" stands for anything in
this position. In this case, it stands for all of the numbers, from 0 to 9.
This gives you all of the dates from the 20th to the 29th of the month.
5. When the red light goes out on the floppy disk drive, open the locking
bar and remove the diskette. Place a label on the diskette and store it
in a safe place.
