- dBase IV question
-
- I would like to import some data from a dBase program into Lotus 1-2-3
- so I can use the fancy printing features of its ""Impress" add-in. In
- my dBase program I create a bunch of variables e.g.
-
- SUM COST FOR TERR="1111" .AND. PROD="VOL" .AND. TYPE="MLS" TO MVAR1
- SUM COST FOR TERR="1112" .AND. PROD="VOL" .AND. TYPE="MLS" TO MVAR2
- SUM COST FOR TERR="1113" .AND. PROD="VOL" .AND. TYPE="MLS" TO MVAR3
-
- (etc.)
-
- I now want to take MVAR1, MVAR2 and MVAR3 and get them either into
- a database or into cells of a spreadsheet. I know how to write these
- to a flat file. But to bring a flat file to lotus requires you then
- "parse" the data to get the data elements into individual cells, not
- a lot of fun.
-
- I would appreciate some insight on how best to accomplish this.
-
- Thanks!
