I have just begun the task of switching over from my very stable Rbase 4.5++ data bases to the Windows version of RB2000 (6.5++). This might be trivial, but I do not see that I can import or export an ASCII fixed file as I am able to do in the DOS 6.5 version. I have a great number of applications that expect a .FIX file structure as input. Is there any way I can use the Windows version for ASCII fixed files?
Bernie,
To IMPORT/LOAD data from ASCII FIXED field file in 6.5++ for Windows:
LOAD TableName FROM FileName.ext AS FORMATTED USING + ColumnName1 start end, + ColumnName2 start end, + ColumnName3 start end, + ColumnName5 start end, + ColumnName6 start end, + ColumnName7 start end, + ColumnName8 start end, + ColumnName9 start end
TO EXPORT/UNLOAD from 6.5++ for Windows as FIXED Field, here are mu suggestions:
01. Try the following technique:
