HOW TO
When you need to combine all the coverages in a workspace, with APPEND or MAPJOIN, you can avoid typing each coverage name by using the [LISTFILE] function to create an ASCII file that lists the coverage names. You can use this ASCII file as input to the APPEND or MAPJOIN command.
Code:
Arc: &ty [listfile * -cover covlist.txt]
Code:
Arc: append outcov
Enter Coverages to be APPENDed (Type END or a blank line when done):
=======================================
Enter the 1st coverage: &run covlist.txt
Enter the 4th coverage:
Done entering coverage names (Y/N)? y
Do you wish to use the above coverages (Y/N)? y
Appending coverages...
Code:
Arc: &ty [delete covlist.txt -file]
