-from Option for Commands that Move Elements into Libraries: -from Copies input from a given file. Format -from pathname Description Commands that move element or branch versions into libraries take the -from option, which specifies an input source. If the pathname argument refers to a directory, the DSEE facility looks for an input file with the same name as the element. For example, DSEE> create element element_1 -from //suez/jqt uses a file called element_1 in directory //suez/jqt as the source file (input file) for the initial version of the new element. If pathname refers to a file, the DSEE facility uses the specified file as the input file. For example, DSEE> create branch br1 alpha.pas[2] -from //suez/jqt/branch_file uses //suez/jqt/branch_file as the source file for the initial version of branch alpha.pas/br1. By default, commands that take the -from option delete input files. If you don't want an input file deleted, add the -keep option to the command.
