030150153dd04000000000000000000000000023 TABLE FILE MAINTENANCE
<F2> Open a window on the Element file this table is based on.
<F4> Change the key status of the current element.
<F5> Add new elements to the table.
<F6> Delete an element from the table.
<F7> Change the description, occurrences, or key field for the
current element.
<F8> Tag an element to change its position in the table.
<Esc> Return to the Main menu of the Table Definition Module.
<F2> Alter Element File
You can add or change elements in the Element file this table is based on
without exiting the Table Definition Module. <F2> opens a window on the
element file to allow you to change it. Changes to existing elements will
be reflected immediately in the table file. Any new elements you create
must be added separately to the table file.
<F4> Key
Pressing <F4> allows you to edit the key status of the current element.
Every table must have at least one unique key.
<F5> or <A> Add mode
Add mode allows you to add elements to the table. A window lists the
elements in the associated element file.
<F6> or <D> Delete
Pressing <F6> or <D> tags an element for deletion from the table file. The
element will be deleted when the file is saved. Until you save the file, you
can "undelete" the element by positioning the pointer at the element and
pressing <F6> or <D> again.
<F7> or <C> Change mode
Change mode allows you to change the characteristics of elements in the table
file. You can change the descriptive name, occurrences, and key type. To
change an element, position the pointer beside it and press <F7> or <C>. If
occurrences is greater than 1, you cannot change the key type. If key type is Unique or Duplicate, you cannot change occurrences.
<F8>, <T> Tag
Tagging elements allows you to change the order of the elements within the
file. To tag an element, position the pointer beside it and press <T>.
Once an element is tagged, you can move it or switch it with another element.
<M> Move
Position the pointer beside the element above the new location for the
tagged element and press <M>. If you move a segmented key definition,
it will return to the end of the file when the file is saved.
<S> Switch
Position the pointer beside the element which you want to switch with the
tagged element and press <S>. The tagged element moves to the pointer
location and the element at that position moves to the space vacated by
the tagged element. If you switch a segmented key definition, it will
return to the end of the file when the file is saved.
<F8> or <T> Reset Tag
Pressing <F8> or <T> a second time removes the tag.

You can import dBASE III/III+ data file
definitions (.DBF files) into the Table
Module. PRO-C looks for these files in

Logical fields (type L) must be converted
to Character fields (type C) before you
import the dBASE file. In addition, the
field you will use as the unique key must
be in the first index field.
0b1f320d3dd0400000000000000000000000005e IMPORTING PRO-C TEMPLATE FILES
PRO-C template files (.TPL files) are data
definition files created by PRO-C version
1.3x. PRO-C looks for .TPL files in the
RECORDS subdirectory.
The element prompts and data types are copied
from the original file. Key status is set to
N and format masks are set to the default
for the data type. Occurrences is set to 1.

0a1f320e3dd04000000000000000000000000060 IMPORTING TABLE FILES
You can combine PRO-C table files or copy
tables for new projects by importing an
existing table file into the current file. The
imported file must have the same controlling
element file as the current file. PRO-C looks
for the file in the RECORDS subdirectory.
Elements are imported exactly as they are
defined in the source file, including key
status and occurrences.
091f2f0e3dd04000000000000000000000000061 IMPORTING ASCII DELIMITED FILES
You can import tabmod definitions that are

You can import table definitions from Paradox
files. The Paradox files must be stored in
the RECORDS subdirectory.
In order for the key fields to be imported
correctly, the primary key must be the first
field in the Paradox file. Any compound keys
you have defined in Paradox must be composed
of contiguous fields.
0b1f31093dd04000000000000000000000000064 EXPORT dBASE III FILE
You can export the table file definition to a
file which can be used by dBASE III/III+.
The exported file will be stored in the EXE
subdirectory with a file extension of .DBF.
You must supply a file name.
0c1f320c3dd04000000000000000000000000065 EXPORT ASCII FILE
You can export the table file definition to a
file in ASCII format. The exported file will
be stored in the RECORDS subdirectory with a
file extension of .ASC. You must supply a
file name.
All elements are exported as type "N" and
segmented keys are not included.

Press <Enter> to accept the default value of 1.

and press <Enter>. The maximum value is 99.
The Occurrences field determines how many times a field appears in
a record. For example, you may have an ADDRESS element for company
addresses. If you want to provide three lines on the screen for
the address, set Occurrences to three. This is an alternative
approach to having three separate address fields.
Elements with multiple occurrences cannot be keyed. If Occurrences
is set at any value except 1, the element cannot be used in a
segmented key.
When a field has more than one occurrence, extra occurrences appear
in screens and reports (and are stored in data files) as separate
fields. In the example given above, the original element was named
ADDRESS, and the other occurrences would be known as ADDRESS <02>
and ADDRESS <03>.
041c2f143dd0400000000000000000000000009e KEY STATUS
Key fields are used by the file manager to
find records in a file.
Unique keys require a unique value for each
record in the data file. Each table must
have at least one unique key. Duplicate
keys allows several records to have the
same key value.
By default, fields are classed as N, Not
a Key. Segmented keys can be classed as
Unique or Duplicate; they default to D,
Duplicate.
Press <Enter> to accept the default
key type.
Type in a new key status and press
<Enter> to change the key status.
<Esc> returns to the Main menu.

If the element is a character field,
you can use the whole element or a
sub-string of it in a segmented
key. Date and numeric elements cannot
be broken down into sub-strings.
Elements used in segmented keys must
have Occurrences set to 1. You can
combine elements of different types in
a segmented key.
03012d153dd040000000000000000000000000a1 SEGMENT SUB-STRING SPECIFICATION
