I need to create a MFD for a QicLink indexed file that is in IDX8 format. Any one know where I can find documentation on this? Classes? Anything?

The file layout is below:

01 zanm03-rec.
03 zanm03-key.
05 zanm03-tax-number pic 9(09).
05 zanm03-key-2.
10 zanm03-create-date pic 9(09) COMP-3.
**** Julian date format "yyjul"
10 zanm03-create-time.
15 zanm03-time1 pic 9(02).
15 zanm03-time2 pic 9(02).
15 zanm03-time3 pic 9(02).
10 zanm03-create-time-num
redefines zanm03-create-time
pic 9(06).
10 zanm03-conversion-date pic 9(08).
03 zanm03-fields.
05 zanm03-pmfdid pic x(09).
05 zanm03-pmfdsf pic x(02).

Thanks,
Glenda

I don't know what a QicLink indexed file is (or IDX8 for that matter) but they do not show up on the supported list of databases, so there would not be and adapter for this, even if you had a Master File. Are you accessing this via ODBC? If so, just let WF use your ODBC adapter for this file type to autogenerate it and see what you get.

Thanks all. For the record, the file was used in its native form. The MFD suffix used was:

SUFFIX=MFCISAM
