How can I access data from a filePro data base with another program?
A. You can write a .prc table and use the ‘export’ function to output filePro data in various formats including Word, WordPerfect, DIF and Multiplan. Example: Line 1 — Then: export word fil = \myfile Line 2 — Then: fil(1) = 2; fil(2) = 3; fil(3) = 6 Line 1 opens a file named myfile.wp in the root directory of the current Line 2 exports the content of field 2 as the 1st element in the output, then field 3 and 6 as the 2nd and 3rd elements. The data exported in the example will be standard CSV format so each field will be delimited with quotes and a comma. “data_in_field_2″,”data_in_field_3″,”data_in_field_6” Note: You also need to create a “process only” format with the same name as the processing table name you assigned. Use the “define output” option to create the “process only” format.
