RE: [Talk] bds configuration file missing

[Corinna]

Scott,   You could open the txt file in question without using a prior named configuration file. Each .bds is specific to the file it is used with and can be re-used if the format of the file it is being used with is identical. The .bds is actually created when you open the file using the datastation. Let me know precisely the similarities of the files (or the reason you are re-using prior bds) and maybe I could direct you.     Thanks, Corinna Robertson   Boston Software Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.bostonworkstation.com The Essential Tool for Healthcare Integration 866-653-5105 ext. 5 508-653-5105   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of White, Scott A Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 4:27 PM To: Talk@BOSTONWORKSTATION.COM Subject: [Talk] bds configuration file missing Hello, I'm attempting to access a simple *.txt file to perform a basic script. I had an example of a configuration file used in a project back in 2004; but it just doesn't cut the mustard here.   In my current project I have this call set up to utilize the .bds file I believed was the configuration file the script wanted.   D.Open_ myfile, ftDelimited, "c:\ARRAY\DRUGMNEM.TXT.bds"         But when I run the script it errors out stating " No configurationFile: c:\ARRAY\DRUGMNEM.TXT.bds" The file does exist; but I fear it is not set up correctly. The bds file looks like this:   [mnem] Mnemon=0 [general] filetime=4/28/2005 2:58:30 PM takelabels=0 [names] [fields] [report]   The actual data file has entries like this:   NIAC50    *ROCE1S   ROCE1MBP  MVI       MVIT      etc....  no header or labels, just raw data.       I have another bds file that does work with another script; but no documentation to explain each line's purpose. It looks like this: [general] filetime=6/18/2004 4:16:07 PM [names] Mnemon=1 AttPhys=2 MriEntry=3 [fields] [report]     Any suggestions?  Does someone have a document or the ability to explain what each line of the .bds file means and does?   Thanks in advance, Scott       CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail communication and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information for the use of the designated recipients named above.  If you are not the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that you have received this communication in error and that any review, disclosure, dissemination, distribution or copying of it or its contents is prohibited.
