 
 CNV allows you to perform the following functions:
 
    1)  create a new Sequential file from the records of an
        existing Sequential, Relative, or Indexed file.
 
    2)  supersede an existing Sequential file with the records
        of another Sequential file or the records of a Relative
        or Indexed file.
 
    3)  append to a Sequential file the records of another
        Sequential file or the records of a Relative or Indexed
        file.
 
    4)  write into an existing Relative or Indexed file the
        records of another file of any organization.
 
 Note that IFL is the fastest, most direct, and most efficient
 method of populating an empty RMS-11 Indexed file.  Type HELP RMS
 IFL COMMAND for an explanation of its command line and switches.
 
 Type HELP RMS CNV COMMAND for an explanation of CNV's command line
 and switches.
 
*COMMAND
 
 The general form of CNV's command line is:
 
        outfile[/switch(s)]=infile[/switch]
 
*SWITCHES
