I have not been able to get an MDI built for even the simple Car file. Perhaps I am missing something basic. I am following the code in the manuals:

First I rebuilt the CAR file to be XFOCUS. Then I added the access file name to the master file:
FILENAME=CAR,SUFFIX=XFOCUS, ACCESS=CAR,$

I created the access file, CAR.ACX as follows:
MASTERNAME CAR
DATANAME d:\invpln\jim\car.foc
MDILOCATION carmdi
TARGET_OF ORIGIN
DIMENSION CAR
DIMENSION COUNTRY
DIMENSION MODEL
DATANAME d:\invpln\jim\car1.mdi (I only indicate one mdi, is this correct?)

I ran the following commands:

REBUILD
MDINDEX
NEW
CAR
CARMDI
NO

I receive the following error:

MDINDEX
NEW / ADD ?
ENTER MASTER FILE NAME
ENTER MD_INDEX LOCATION FILE NAME
ANY RECORD SELECTION TESTS? (YES/NO)
(FUS20011) MDI CARMDI NOT FOUND FOR MASTER CAR
REBUILD NOT EXECUTED


Is something else suppose to be done? Do you have a working example that you can share with me? Is the MDI functionality a separately licensed option?


Web FOCUS 7.6.11

Hi Jim

Tried the same as you in 7.1.3 and raised a hottrack about it. Not sure of the status but if you want MDI to work then I would suggest upgrading to 7.1.7 which I think can still be done thru patchfiles from 7.1.1.

I do remember that to get the thing vaguely working I had to use filetype of FUSION.

I'm now on 7.6.2 so when I have time I will try your example and see if it works.

Regards

John
