RE: MAPICS-L Digest, Vol 2, Issue 184

I am trying to write reports from the files :) .  I am importing this data
into Sql Server via DTS Processes that transform the data into something
that is reportable.  As you may expect, I am running into many road blocks
but the ERLCOM tool has been most helpful.

Be very certain of what you are trying to do.  MAPICS COM behaves
differently depending on many variables.  Partial orders will appear in both
files.  Shipped complete orders MAY appear in ship history or MAY have a
status flag on the header to indicate shipped with NO corresponding record
in the history files.  

There is no easy method to write reports from the files.

What is it you are trying to do?
