Paradox ASCII File Not Merging Correctly |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer has saved a file from Paradox 3.5 as an ASCII file. When he tries to merge, the primary file keeps selecting the wrong field unless he has the fields in numerical order starting with Field 1, Field 2, Field 3, etc. If he tries to put the fields in a different order (i.e., Field 3, Field 1, Field 2), the primary file selects the wrong field in every record except the first, and that first merged record comes in correctly. This does not happen in other interim releases of WP. Solutions: This has been fixed and will ship in the interim release after 12/31/90. A work around would be to run the Paradox file through Convert, and choose the 5.1 secondary file option before merging. ASCII Delimited merges have changed. To correctly merge them when they are delimited by "s (double quotes), set the beginning and ending field delimiters as a " (double quote). |
