Output Everything to ASCII Merge File

The Output item starts with a long menu. Each field has the designation (replace) or (leave).
The very first time you use the Output item, (replace) is shown for each field. If you have
used Output before, fields that you changed to (leave) will be shown that way, on the
assumption that you may well want to make the same changes again.

Output everything in merge format to file, select fields to merge
Press ESCAPE to exit

Is all the above correct? [y]

If you want to change any of the fields, enter N to respond to the Is all the above correct?
prompt. Use the up and down arrow keys to position the cursor beside the field(s) you want to
change. For each field, the prompt Merge this field? (y/n) is displayed.

If you decide not to replace the data in a field in the target file, (replace) changes to (leave).

Leave means that, when you use this ASCII merge file for input, the data for that field in a
target file will not be overwritten by the data in this ASCII merge file.

Make the changes you want, then press

when you are finished.

When you press Enter to respond to the Is all the above correct? [y] prompt, you are asked
to enter the name of the ASCII merge file. Do not add an extension to the file’s name because
.ASC will be added automatically.

The program copies all records to the ASCII merge file. When finished, it displays the
number of records processed, which is also the number of records in the lookup file.

If the program encounters a problem in creating the ASCII merge file, an error message
appears. The most common problem is a full disk, especially if the output file is on a floppy
diskette. Check the disk or diskette, delete some files if required, and recreate the ASCII
merge file.

Append Changes to ASCII Merge File

This item appends to the designated ASCII merge file all changes that have occurred in the
source file since the last time you used the Output everything to ASCII merge file or

item to use this Append item.
