The parseIppvRept Utility Options
The following list contains the options that pertain to the parseIppvRept utility:
-I- input file name. The input file name is required when you run the
parseIppvRept utility and refers to the name of the IPPV purchase report in the
/dvs/ftp/purchaseReportArchive directory that you want to convert to text
format. The billing system supplies the name of the IPPV purchase report when
it writes the file to the /dvs/ftp/purchaseReportArchive directory. Anyone
running the parseIppvRept utility merely has to know which report to convert.
Most frequently, the system operator will want to convert the IPPV purchase
report from the previous night-the newest file in the directory.

-O- output file name. The output file name is optional and is used only when the
system operator wants to direct the converted IPPV report to a file for later
examination. When the -O option is not used, output goes to the DNCS screen.
Note: Output from the parseIppvRept utility can be quite lengthy. We
recommend that system operators direct the output from the parseIppvRept
utility to a text file for later examination.

utility to separate each field in the output by a comma. Each record is then
separated by a new line. When the -c option is not used, each record in the
output appears as a separate block of data.

parseIppvRept utility to suppress the printing of end-of-run statistics. Unless the
-s option is used, the report will summarize the number of records processed, the
number of actual IPPV purchases, and the number of cancellations.
