What is IOTYPE in my master file? How do I suppress it? I am tabling data out of a FOCUS database and simply HOLDing it in a text file. The accompanying MAS master file has an entry on the first line FILENAME=FILE1, SUFFIX=FIX, IOTYPE=STREAM, $ How do I elimintae the IOTYPE setting?This message has been edited.

Why do you want to remove it ? I think it tells FOCUS how to read the file Waz...

Waz is correct, this setting helps FOCUS read FIX format HOLD type files. It is applicable to later 7.6 and 7.7 release I believe. There are 2 values, BINARY and STREAM, for IOTYPE and it is internally generated and should not be applied manually to an MFD. Alan. WF 7.705/8.007 | |||

I tabled the data into a hold file (hold.ftm and hold.mas) from 7.7.03. The hold.mas has the IOTYPE parameter. When I table that hold file from a 7.6.5 machine, it can not read the file. Is there a setting in 7.6.5 that I am missing for 7.6.5 to recognize the IOTYPE parameter? Brad S. WF 8.05 / Win7 /Tomcat Self Serve | |||

I needed to add the "DATASET='mypath/table2.ftm'" to the mas in order to read the file. FILENAME=table2 , SUFFIX=FIX , IOTYPE=STREAM, $ DATASET='mypath/table2.ftm' SEGMENT=table2, SEGTYPE=S0, $ FIELDNAME=FIELDNAME, ALIAS=E01, USAGE=A100, ACTUAL=A100, $This message has been edited.
