yup .. the segment.* naming convention did the trick, but also to bypass all makenl_ng check routines on any daynumbered extensions and any cleanup functionality mechanism. To import any segments starting the body filename a. ignoring any daynumbers, despite the fact the extension is in sync to the offset daynumber or not b. also allows unnumbered extensions eg .lst, .upd
Using .* in the control file also means, you have to take care manualy to do a cleanup of older segments. In one more test (after sent my NM report) I've also tested a duplication of segments by different daynumbers zone1.236, zone1.243, zone1.250 in the working directory ... and the winner is ?
. . .
Zone1.236 .. the OLDEST segment (!) :-P
d 09-Sep-2013 11:14:28 makenl[3012] searchlistfile(): found 'ZONE1.236' d 09-Sep-2013 11:14:28 makenl[3012] myfnmerge: drive='(null)' dir='r:\makenl\files' name='ZONE1.236' ext='(null)' d 09-Sep-2013 11:14:28 makenl[3012] searchlistfile: justthisfile, foundfile='r:\makenl\files\ZONE1.236' + 09-Sep-2013 11:14:28 makenl[3012] Processing Zone 1 -- file 'r:\makenl\files\ZONE1.236'
What does this mean for processing: a. for the master processing of every Fridays nodelist the default makenl behavior should be used with a cleanup of older files with segment. naming convention in the control file and the cleanup statement *C's at lower level to be advised to use offset daynumber extensions by placing a PUBLISH Friday (if not automaticly processed) makenl control files without PUBLISH Friday still uses PUBLISH day Friday, but there are other compilers around ... b. for the daily list processing a copy to another working directory should be implemented by cleaning the daily list working directory and copying over all segments from the Fridays master working directory and using its own dailylist control file with segment.* extensions and each weekdays PUBLISH day. This makes probably 6 or 7 control files
The result is: a. a clean master working directory for the weekly Friday nodelist with cleaning up of older segments to current offset daynumber for all files that haven't been updated by a fresh new upload, older files removed, only the newest file picked up (in contrast see above zone1 experiment) -and- b. a clean working directory for the daily list processing with the newly uploaded segments
