Read/Write: Updates PAF database - NOTES2.DAT only
IMPORT will add notes from any ASCII text file to the end of
existing NOTES2.DAT records for any individual in your database.
It does not modify, nor insert data within the text of existing
notes. If notes already exist for the selected individual the new
information will be added to the end. If such notes do not
already exist, a new note record will be created.
While it is recommended that you select each individual for which
you want to import notes by RIN, limited search capabilities are
built into IMPORT to help you find the RIN. These facilities are
neither as extensive nor as fast as those offered by PAF itself.
Input text files must meet the same requirements as PAF specifies
for external note files. That is, lines not to exceed 79
characters and containing no characters from the extended ASCII
set. Formatted text should be created using spaces rather than
tabulation. Double spacing the lines will create what PAF
considers a separate note for each line. If several consecutive
blank lines are in the text, only the first will be imported into
the notes file.
After importation of a text file, the notes can be edited or
deleted from within PAF by the normal methods. Importation of
notes does not interfere with the continued entry of notes to that
record in the normal manner from within PAF. Entries by either
method may be alternated if so desired.
Some copies of the file IMPORT26.ZIP contain a bad documentation
file. The executable program is always the latest version.
