For something this small, use a single VI to manage it in memory:
It has a FUNCTION input, an enum with values of (INIT, READ FILE,
WRITE FILE, ADD ITEM, FIND ITEM).
It has a CLUSTER input, which is your record type {Item number, serial
number, time stamp, description}
It has a CLUSTER output,
Yes how do you create the data file?
Do you have a sample program in LabView 6 or earlier version?
I want to create a small data base of about 10 to 20 items. Each item
will have an item number, serial number, time stamp and description. I
want to store these 10 items in a file and be able to retrieve them by
item number. How can I do this with LabView?
