Instructions and Information

As mentioned in the DYL280 conversion FAQ, there is no program (that we know of) that converts an entire DYL280 program to Spectrum Writer. But this conversion "helper" can give you a headstart in your conversion process. By letting this conversion helper perform some of the routine conversion work for you (specifically, the input record layouts) you can save lots of time and effort. To see a demonstration using the sample DYL280 statements above, just click the Convert button.

How to Use this Tool
Simply paste your DYL280 file definition code in the left-hand box above. Then press the Convert button. The conversion helper will parse through the DYL280 file definitions and create Spectrum Writer file definition statements that will be useful in your conversion process.

Note: Be sure to paste only pure text data into the box. For example, paste DYL280 code copied from Notepad or something similar. Code copied from a word processor program (like Word) usually contains formatting codes and other non-text bytes that prevent the helper from properly parsing the DYL280 code.
