It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 60017
interpreted = N
texte = Make sure there are no extra or characters at the end of the db file. -----Original Message----- From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On Behalf Of Aaron Lynch Sent: Saturday, November 13, 2004 12:07 AM To: WebDNA Talk Subject: Bad merge format error message. I'm trying to use a database from a vendor which is in merge format. I get the database via TCPconnect, and then I add the header and save it via writefile. However when I try and search it, I get the following error: An unknown error occurred: DBError dialups.db Bad Merge Format. Missing "," Sequence The database is formatted like so: state,city,number,1,2,4,5,6 "AK","Anchorage","907-274-9832","l3","Y","Y","N","N","Y" "AL","Alabaster","205-419-4187","l3","Y","Y","N","N","Y" "AL","Alabaster","205-378-1002","st","N","Y","N","N","N" "AL","Albertville","256-455-4055","l3","Y","Y","N","N","Y" "AL","Alexander City","256-397-0063","tx","Y","Y","N","N","Y" What does missing "'" sequence mean? Is it a problem in the header, or in one of the records? ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
