I'm trying to build an MDI for my focus table. Can anyone point me to some good literature on this. I've been going off the help file for this, but I feel like I'm missing a piece. The most confusing piece for me is the mention of .mdi file, but I can't seem to find any information on how to create that file or what it looks like. If anyone can help me here is what I have so far.

ISA.mas

FILENAME=ISA     , SUFFIX=FOC     , $
  SEGMENT=SEG01, SEGTYPE=S2, $
    FIELDNAME=ISAITMNB, 	  ALIAS=E01, USAGE=A10, FIELDTYPE=I, $
    FIELDNAME=ISACRTDT, 	  ALIAS=E02, USAGE=YYMD, FIELDTYPE=I, $

MASTERNAME = ISA,$
 DATA = app/bit_holdfiles/isa.foc,$
 MDI = isamdi,
   TARGET_OF = SEG01,$
   DIM = ISAITMNB,$
   DIM = ISACRTDT,$
   MDIDATA = app/bit_holdfiles/isa1.mdi,$


My fex looks like this

REBUILD

NEW
ISA
ISAMDI
NO

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
