Tool Wrappers

There are some PROIV Developer tools that are available to be called by your own functions through the use of Wrappers.

Wrapper Function Name	Tool	Reads List	Writes List
@VIPWP01	Export	Y	Y
@VIPWP02	Import	Y	Y
@VIPWP03	Bulk Build	Y	Y
@VIPWP04	Object Backup	N	N
@VIPWP05	Object Restore	N	N
@VIPWP06	Delete Backup	N	N
@VIPWP07	File/Function X-Ref	N	Y
@VIPWP08	Global Logic X-Ref	N	Y
@VIPWP09	Return the objects in an export file	N	Y
@VIPWP10	Co/Div and Operator Wrapper	N	N
@VIPWP11	Run-Time Import Wrapper	N	N
@VIPWP12	Saved List Wrapper	Y	Y
@VIPWP13	Bulk Delete Wrapper	Y	Y
@VIPWP14	File Creation Wrapper	N	N

The wrappers consist of a function for each tool, named @VIPWPnn (along with its parameter list, but no other source) which performs the action.

Wrappers that can process many objects also use a user-written list file, $PROPATH/vipbqu1 (along with its File Definition - @VBQU1). This can be loaded with a list of objects to process, and can return a list of objects with or without errors.

The use of wrappers means that you can use software of your own (for example, change control software) to drive PROIV Developer tools.
