Greetings.  I have a data source that collects via another means outside of
of the MLM and NetView data collection processes.  I convert my data via a
perl script into a format that looks almost exactly like the midmand.col MLM
data collection.  My intent is to then run the smconvert utility and import
the data into NetViews RIM on oracle.  All is well until I run the smconvert
utility.  The command runs without errors but does not produce the
xnmcollect file.  Any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong?  I have attached
a sample of the midmand.col file along with the smconvert command that I am
running.

1018002212: 04/05/2002 04:23:32 EXPRESSION
10.16.27.221:Latency1-10.16.30.1-AVG = 4

smconvert -d ./ AVG.txt

Originally I had the EXPRESSION set to an INTEGER but that complained
because I did not have a valid MIB definition.
