Data File Profiles / File Links

The screen shows the databases used within the application. For each database file in your application you can specify the prime index format, the items which are to be shown when using the <F4-Select> facility in the user program, and the relationships between the files you are using in this application.

When you take this choice from the menu the system will attempt to open the live file pathnames but if any of these are not found then the base file will be tried. The database file layout is shown on the right hand side of the screen for each file being processed. If a live and base file cannot be found then the message - DATA FILE NOT FOUND – will be shown.
