Thank you both very much for responding. I don't actually understand a lot of what you included so I will be spending some time on the site looking it up.
I am more than happy to consider a different solution. The problem is set however. I am going to try to explain again. Hopefully, in doing so you will see something that I might have missed in the first explanation. Currently, we have a couple of files that are used locally. The WO (work order) and the IM (item Master). We have programs that are written in both Basic and PROC. The PROC programs use statements such as F-OPEN 1 IM and then MV &1.12 %1. The Basic programs either use an include file or have the file name in an open statement depending on the age of the program. Our company leaders have decided that they want us to move to code that will work globally. The first time we attempted this we used include files to insure that no matter what the attribute numbers in a file were we still used the same information. Example of this was having a the part name set in the include. So in our file IM<1> is the part name. The include said EQUATE IM.PART.NAME TO 1 -- Please read the posting guidelines at: http://groups.google.com/group/jBASE/web/Posting%20Guidelines IMPORTANT: Type T24: at the start of the subject line for questions specific to Globus/T24 To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/jBASE?hl=en
