Re: File Help.

My product master(Real Nice 3rd party ERP package<VBG>)  has about 700
fields, and Record length is about 4000.

Hmm Access failed ?  what a shame.  Excel failed?  Again what a shame.  You
know those industrial strength DB tools.
(Just kidding MS fans <G>)

Now then,  Try SQL.

STRSQL

Use F13 when in SQL and change default output to *PRINT.  Select * from
File

Can't understand why WRKQRY would freeze.

You said you need to read it.  What for?  Are you just curious?  Just want
to know what's in it?  Every Field?

--------------------------------------

I have a very large record that I need to read, 800+ fields, and over 8000
bytes of data, any suggestions?

I have tried DBU 4.1/ WRKDBF without success and when I tried wrkqry, it
seemed to freeze...  Downloading via/odb to excel failed because the
worksheet couldn't hold the data, I have tried using Access, but it failed
also, but it couldn't even give me a reason for why it failed.

Can anyone think of another way to display data in these fields?  It's only
one record long...

p.s. I would like to avoid writng and RPG program, the printfile would be
huge.  Plus adding the description to each field.

p.s.ps.  I did not create this record :-)

tia, tim
