ASCII Files (daxch0102m000)

Run the ASCII Files (daxch0102m000) session to maintain logical ASCII files in an exchange scheme. You can maintain these files automatically or manually.

If you use the name of an LN table for the ASCII file name, LN can automatically enter the fields for that table when you use the ASCII File Fields (daxch0503m000) session.

The Specific menu includes these options:

  • ASCII File Fields (Ctrl+Shift+1):

    Starts the ASCII File Fields (daxch0503m000) session.

  • Create ASCII Files (Ctrl+Shift+G):

    Starts the Create ASCII File Fields and Relations (daxch0203m000) session. Use this option to create ASCII files automatically.

To create an ASCII file manually:

  1. Define a unique logical ASCII file name with a description.
  2. In the Definition File field, define a definition file from which used to copy the ASCII file fields.
  3. To add more information, click the Edit Text button on the toolbar to start the text editor.
