You can get KIDS to just export the data without importing any DD elements. However, you have to make sure your global map from the originating system is compatible with the map on the target system. For example, Outpatient Pharmacy had a patch where they moved the STATUS field from one global node and piece to a totally different global node and piece. In both the original and target system you had a STATUS field but where that value was stored moved. I do not know enough about the internal workings of KIDS to know how he lays down data on the target system. With a change like OP did, you have the chance that KIDS will corrupt you target database.
In short, I would rely on KIDS to port data from one data dictionary structure to another system with a different data dictionary structure. You situation is more like what we have encountered when doing a database conversion. Every conversion I have been involved with involved doing custom M programming and import the data file into a temporary global array. Then your custom M code does the actual insertion of data into the target file. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Woodhouse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 6:22 PM Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] KIDS to transfer data > You can also use the Fileman import tool if the data will file > correctly. > > --- Cameron Schlehuber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > The DD on the target system will be overlaid to match what is being > > exported. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > > James > > Gray > > Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 3:20 PM > > To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: [Hardhats-members] KIDS to transfer data > > > > Does anyone know what will happen if I use KIDS to move data from a > > file on > > one system to a file on another when the DD do not quite match.
