This example demonstrates the power of running from the command-line. It invokes two control files – an IDF script file and an LOF file –  to concatenate a number of data files and append a supplementary page. On the command-line or in the Run box, enter:

ESCAPEE /FROM c:\CustomerRecords\Fruit.LOF /JOIN

where Fruit.LOF is the list of files containing the pages to be output:

Fruit.lof

FruitTrees.pdf

FruitBushes.pdf

FruitSeeds.pdf /USING BrochureLast.idf

and BrochureLast.idf is the IDF file adding the extra page to a standard brochure:

BrochureLast.idf

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<INCLUDE PAGE="NEXT"/>
</PAGE>

<PAGE>
<TEXT ALIGN="CENTRE,CENTRE" FONTSIZE="16 pt" STYLE="1">
