Will try to explain..
Objective: Want to create a report from csv file.
Description:
I saved the .csv file into "OTHER" folder in my Domain. - MRE or DataServers.
Is this possible to create MFD & Report in same fex.
Example:
::Report.fex::
FILE=TRADE, SUFFIX=COM
SEGNAME=QMTRADE, SEGTYPE=S1, $
FIELD=NUMBER, ALIAS=M01, USAGE=A40, ACTUAL=A40, $
FIELD=DATE, ALIAS=M02, USAGE=MDY, ACTUAL=DATE, $
-*
FILEDEF TRADE1 DISK "how to specify .csv file located in OTHER folder"

PRINT *
END

Check out the the documentatiosn for the creation of synonyms. There's a lot more to it then a FILEDEF. Not to mention that the "FILE=..." doesn't go in the fex.

Another way is to do an 'import' from the masters logical folder. It will load the file into the WebFOCUS environment and create a master for you.

Novice, please update your profile signature with your release and such so that we can better help you. We don't want to tell you to do things that you can't do in your environment.
