<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am using filePro 5.0.5 with Windows XP
Professional</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to setup IMPORT processing that will
allow me to import the same data into a file but from different source
files having each source having a different name.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I believe: INPUT fn(8,*) "ENTER FILE
NAME"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Will ask me for the file to be imported and assign
the file name to fn.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I believe: IMPORT word
merge=c:\directoryname\
(directoryname will always be the same as will the file type always be a .csv
file from EXCEL)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is the beginning of the IMPORT instruction but do
not know how to get the file name held in variable fn (from the prompt) to be
recognized as the file to import. I have tried: IMPORT word
merge=c:\directoryname\ {fn. Got Bad Function Number error.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, is the filename limited to 8
characters? It seems when I use more than 8 I have trouble.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
