I converted a list to use a database and I would like to import all users with their subscription options. I did a Get on the list
prior to the its conversion and then after. I copied all the users from the prior get and pasted them to the new Header. I then
changed the PUT to PUTALL and sent back to listserv. Listserv returned with "The TEST-DEV-DBMS-L list has been successfully stored".
Thinking everything was well I checked the database and there were no new users! Thinking I put the old header back up I double
checked my PUTALL email and it was correct (DBMS= Yes).

Funny thing is GET will show all DBMS users. PUTALL Keeps the users in the .LIST FILE.
I take it PUTALL Does exactly that. Puts the new .LIST and does not convert users. I thought it might be able to do this because
Listserv does validate that email addresses are RFC822 Compliant .. AND GET returns users from the database not the .list file. hmmm
GET from database PUTALL to .LIST

Is there any way to bulk add users  AND options from Listserv subscription list to a database subscription list.

Any help will be appreciated.
