Unix migration to excel

[jim at halemfg.com]

I am an end user that has been using Filepro since late 90's. It is now time
for me to move on and allow the next generation's opportunity to make a
living at woodworking. So, sadly we are moving away from the tried-and-true
Filepro.

 

I am assigned the task of migrating Filepro Unix files over to Microsoft
excel files. I have written an export routine: export word filename =
/upss/vend.csv -r=\n -f=,

Assigning values to vend from a Filepro file output routine. I have success
with this on all the files I have created over the years. In the Y2K craze I
bought AP and GL software from BIT (Business Innovative Technologies). These
files are elusive.

In Define Files I have found the file "apvendm" holds the data I need to
migrate. Problem is, there is nothing in this file / zero records. Digging
into the Unix directory appl/filepro/apvendm I see a file called keyhale
that appears to hold the records I am looking for. However, this file is not
shown in the Filepro menu / Filepro Directory. I suspect it all has
something to do with qualifiers (that I'm not familiar with) and cannot
figure out a workaround to write out the file. Anybody care to volunteer
some help to an old timer?

 

I hope I made myself clear.

 

Thank you,
