DELIMITED | SDF COPY TO or APPEND FROM anomalies.
Clipper Version 1.03 dtd 09/15/90.
Problem Statement
COPY and APPEND commands, using certain delimiters, do not produce
the desired result. Further, certain APPEND FROM commands will
append junk until all available disk space is exhausted.
Cause
Unknown.
Work Around(s)
Unknown. Nantucket to supply.
Notes:
1) COPY commands; using SDF, DELIMITED or DELIMITED WITH comma; work.
2) APPEND commands; using SDF, DELIMITED or DELIMITED WITH comma; work,
only if the text file ends in ^Z or <CR><LF>. Caution! APPEND will
try to append 'records' until out of disk space, causing a crash.
3) DELIMITED WITH commands, other than those above, fail to produce
the desired results. A hi-bit character will be used as the delimiter.
4) The Detroit Area Clipper Users Group BBS (313-651-7841) has a file,
DBAPPDEL.ZIP (E. Mark Kothe) which contains a program for appending
with a BLANK delimiter.
