Problem

Solutions: A customer was writing a batch file to have the convert program convert an ASCII file to a WordPerfect merge file. The batch file contained the following line: CONVERT INFILE OUTFILE 7 | {13}{10} " The conversion would run but it would stop and prompt the customer to enter the delimiters and characters to be stripped. By changing the pipe in the batch file the problem was solved. CONVERT INFILE OUTFILE 7 {124} {13}{10} "
