FILENAME=WHATWERE, SUFFIX=FIX
SEGMENT=BASE, SEGTYPE=S1, $
FIELDNAME=CONO01, ALIAS=F01, USAGE=A3, $
FIELDNAME=LOCA01, ALIAS=F02, USAGE=A10, $

Text file is located in

whatwere.txt

'01','CENTERZIP'
'01','CENTERSB'
'01','CENTERTP'
'01','EASTZIP'
'01','EASTSB'
'01','EASTTP'
'01','WESTZIP'

Try this for FLATTST

APP FILEDEF WHTWER DISK raymond/whatwere.txt
TABLE FILE WHTWER
PRINT CONO01 LOCA01
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END

Hope this helps...

Also take note that your flat file is comma delimited.

Flat files can be many formats.

With this one, you should use SUFFIX=COM

See below:

EX -LINES 5 EDAPUT MASTER,whtwer,CV,FILE
FILENAME=WHATWERE, SUFFIX=COM
SEGMENT=BASE, SEGTYPE=S1, $
FIELDNAME=CONO01, ALIAS=F01, USAGE=A5, $
FIELDNAME=LOCA01, ALIAS=F02, USAGE=A12, $

EX -LINES 13 EDAPUT FOCTEMP,whtwer,CV,FILE
'01','CENTERZIP'
'01','CENTERSB' 
'01','CENTERTP' 
'01','EASTZIP' 
'01','EASTSB' 
'01','EASTTP' 
'01','WESTZIP' 
'01','WESTSB' 
'01','WESTTP' 
'01','EXPORTZIP'
'01','EXPORTSB' 
'01','EXPORTTP'

FILEDEF whtwer DISK whtwer.ftm

SET PCOMMA = ON

-RUN

TABLE FILE WHTWER
PRINT *
END

Thank you very much
