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

Here's what the Developer's Guide has to say on the topic:

| 4.5.7. Preserving options when migrating from non-DBMS to DBMS lists
| --------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| When migrating an  existing (standard) LISTSERV mailing list  to the DBMS
| type, note that it is possible  to preserve existing user options without
| having to figure out the bit  values for every user's existing options by
| hand.
|
| A standard LISTSERV subscriber entry is a 100-column string, of which the
| first eighty  characters are  the subscriber's  e-mail address  and "real
| name"  field. Columns  81-100 contain  an encoded  string that  holds the
| various user option settings, for instance:
|
| 3AEAQABMcBMe////
|
| If you take columns 81-100 from an existing list file, insert a semicolon
| after the  first character, and store  this in the option  field, all the
| settings  will be  successfully migrated.  So  for instance  if you  have
| '3AEAQABMcBMe////' in  columns 81-100,  you store  '3;AEAQABMcBMe////' in
| the  option  field. Note  that  the  column  value is  not  automatically
| converted to '4;'  format until the value is updated,  ie, until a change
| is made  to the  user options  or LISTSERV  otherwise updates  the value.
| LISTSERV will  then use '4;'  format when  updating the value,  but until
| then it will remain as it was and LISTSERV will be able to use it without
| any trouble. Do not  change the value of the first character  from 3 to 4
| when migrating as this is guaranteed to cause breakage.

I hope this is helpful to you.
