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>
