Symix 4 Flat-file Definition

[kdwalker123]

Hello again all....
The flat-files from the unload process, does there exist a document that has field definitions/column header identification for all the flat-files? I would be greatful if someone has access to such an animal and could see their way clear to share it with me!?!?!?!

Thank you for your consideration!

This would be the Symix Database Unload/reload process. It creates a box full of *.d ASCII files. I need to know what those file layouts are for migration to another database.

kdwalker123,
have you tried progress' site?
i don't have documentation for symix on hand but you may be able to get something from progress or you could try another progress forum.
regards,

Why not just get the file details from the database?

Or this code snip will give you a simple list of file name, field name and field format.

for each _file, each _field of _file.
display
_file-name format "x(20)"
_field-name format "x(20)"
_format.
end.
