Convert ASCII Comma Delimited To Merge Format |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is using the CONVERT.EXE program to convert ASCII comma- delimited text from Q&A to a merge format. CONVERT.EXE doesn't keep the blank numeric fields (numbers with no quotes). Solutions: Q&A gives a value to a blank field that is Alpha, but no value to a blank field that is Numeric. For example, (" ",) is a blank Q&A Alpha field that has a value of a space between the double quotes. Double quotes in Q&A represent an Alpha field. Alpha characters are encased between the double quotes. For example, (,) is a blank Numeric field that has no value. WordPerfect does not convert blank fields with no value. Note: ConvertPerfect will handle this type of conversion correctly. |
