Re: DCT / CCT file extensions?

If these are FoxPro files, they might be in the dBase format or xBase = an extension of dBase. Those are published. There is also a Microsoft desktop ODBC driver for dBase files - maybe that'd work to read the data with a query in Excel and push it up. Or maybe the Client Access upload has a format for this.

The xBase format tends to have a couple rows each for the columns - at the start of the file. This includes length and data type. Then each row follows, with the lengths as specified. That could be parsed if you want to work hard!

We have a customer who has some files with CCT& DCT extensions ( AAA.CCT

AAA.DCT, BBB.CCT / BBB.DCT, etc) which they want converted to iSeries
database files. Does anyone know what sort of files these are? Googling
didn't help much.



Thanks!
