Explanation of the FID file above:

FILEDEF() defines the file token OPTR1.

[IMPORT] starts a Statement called IMPORT.

These entries are valid for a Statement:


Entry	Value	Description
`FILEFORMAT`	SEPARATED FIXED	DELIMITER and CHARQUOTES must be defined.
`CONVERTCHARS`	WINDOWS_TO_PMSIM PMSIM_TO_WINDOWS NONE
`TYPE`	WRITE READ READ_RENAME APPEND
`CHARQUOTES`	Or Or any char	Only one CHAR is allowed. It is possible that it has no value, but nothing can be placed after the = sign.
`DELIMITER`	; or , or any char	Only one CHAR is allowed. If nothing is displayed after the = sign the semicolon is used.
`LAYOUT`	MULTI_REC SINGLE_REC
`ID`	Whole numbers	Whole numbers corresponding to the record datafields. The type of Record can often be read in the ID=#1
`TRANSFORM`
`SUBSTITUTION`		NFA(X) Not found Action, where X can be: ERROR: Error message WARNING: Error message GEN_NEW_SEQNUM: is used to replace the alpha numeric order number with the numeric number for internal use in M3 PWB. SKIP: Ignore
`DEF_FLOAT_FORM`
`DEF_NUM_DECIMAL`
`DEF_SHORT_LEN`		Can not be 0
`DEF_INT_LEN`		Can not be 0
`DEF_LONG_LEN`		Can not be 0
`DEF_DATE_LEN`		Can not be 0
`DEF_TIME_LEN`		Can not be 0
`PREFIXED_ZEROS`	YES	Place zeros before such that each number is the same length. This is used primarily for data entry. The default is NO.

Substitution Example:

FILEDEF(OP,H:\stelton\control\ordrepef.txt)

SUBSTITION = (#4, OP.#3)KEYS((#6,OP.#1),(#2,OP.#2)),NFA(SKIP)

File Token OP means file H:\stelton\control\ordrepef.txt, that is shown below:

2;3;40;23

8;1;30;21

The table below represents:

Table 1. File Token OP = H:\stelton\control\ordrepef.txt
OP.#1	OP.#2	OP.#3	OP.#4
2	3	40	23
8	1	30	21

In this example, the source file shows this information:

O;1;PEN/GOLD;2;13;8;10;

O;2;PEN/GOLD;4;13;8;10;

O;3;PEN/GOLD;2; ;2;10;

O;4;PEN/GOLD;2; ;2;10;

The table below represents:

Table 2. Data file. Pmorge01.dat
#1	#2	#3	#4	#5	#6	#7
O	1	PEN/GOLD	2	13	8	10
O	2	PEN/GOLD	4	13	8	10
O	3	PEN/GOLD	2		2	10
O	4	PEN/GOLD	2		2	10

When data entry takes place the following is displayed:

Table 3. Result of data entry of Pmorge01.dat
#1	#2	#3	#4	#5	#6	#7
O	1	PEN/GOLD	30	13	8	10
O	2	PEN/GOLD	4	13	8	10
O	3	PEN/GOLD	40		2	10
O	4	PEN/GOLD	2		2	10

Note: Field #4 in the first row has changed to 30 because field #6==8 and #2==1 and Field #4 in the third row has changed to 40 because field #6==2 and #2==3.

This pertains to all O record entries in the Data file Pmorge01.

IF (OP.Column #1 == Data.#6) AND (OP.Column.#2 == Data.#2)

THEN Data.#4 = OP.Column#3
