Environment

File Master Plus v12

Cause

CAWAFM2 was previously shipped with much older versions of FileMaster, specifically Version 3.1 and 4.1,
and it had a specific purpose to dynamically convert FileMaster version 2 commands to FileMaster version 3.1 etc.

In release 8.5, support for CAWAFM2 was stopped and it was no longer shipped, as commands were no longer changed based on product version.

Resolution

Program CAWABATC must be used for File Master Plus batch processing.
