Data Management > Create from TXT File

TPS - DAT - DBF : Create from TXT File

If you use this type of task, you will be able to select a TXT file as Structure and DMC will automatically create a new TPS or DAT or DBF Table for you

You have an example Structure located in Data Management\cgf_import\Source directory called "source_file_structure.txt"

Please open that file and see how it is done to be able to create your own

dmc_create_txt

The CREATE attribute is a MUST and the NAME attribute MUST NOT be there (otherwise the Table will be created in the NAME directory if there is one) - but a Parser is there to check all this for you.

The parser will also check for validity on the TYPE of columns used in the Structure and for Total Record length (in TPS Tables)

You will be warned with a message at each trial.

Each trial will be saved to HD in the "bak" subdirectory under "structures" for you to keep and reuse or erase.

In case of success the Table created will be offered for viewing in a "New table" Tab.

You can then simply change the DRIVER and create a second copy in a different format.

The created Tables are all in the cgf_import\destination directory and Windows Explorer will be automatically opened for you pointing in this directory.
