<DIV><FONT face=Courier>If you need those fields, and they are filePro files,
why don't you just add the most number of fields you would need to the file and
the store the info into them. If no info is stored, no big deal.
Mass storage is very cheat these days.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Processing to add/create real
fields in an existing file </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Filepro Experts:<BR><BR> I import files that contain
information regarding pools of mortgages, which I then analyze using Filepro.
<BR>These files do not have a uniform format as they are from various mortgage
lenders.<BR><BR>The processing that I have written requires that the output be
stored in <B><U>real field</B></U>s within the file that I have imported.
Therefore<BR>declaring values will not work. At least I don't see how it would
solve my problem. As a consequence after importing a file I find myself
MANUALLY entering these fields time (various date fields such date next
interest change etc) again and again.<BR><BR>Is there a simple way to
add real fields to a file via a filepro processing table (dos/windows
version)? <BR><BR>For example:<BR><BR>Say I have a mortgage file (named
"mortgage") with the following fields.<BR><BR>1)
MortgageAmount 10, $<BR>2)
Rate
6, F<BR>3)
Term
3,.0<BR>4)
ClosingDate
8,yymd<BR><BR>I would like to write a filepro process (dos version) that
would automatically add the following fields to the map so that I can
calculated the maturity date and store it in the file. The process can reside
in the <U>mortgage </U>file itself since I always import the new<BR>data into
the same file for initial processing with the standard processing table I have
written.<BR><BR>5)
maturityDate
8,yymd<BR>6)
maturityMonth 3,*<BR><BR>My
thanks in advance for any help!<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>John Koenig<BR><BR><BR>
