[CLOSED] How to identify master file based on Dataset it's referring in *.MAS file?
All,
We have an app where users will upload the data from their spread sheets for the reporting. Sometimes they don’t change the file name, with this while uploading the file; it will create the multiple versions of data (.txt) file with in the same master file. Always this master file will refer the latest version of data file.
Is there any way I can find the Master file or Segment name based on Dataset in the master file?
Sample Master File:
FILENAME=CONTEST_ADJUSTMENT, SUFFIX=DFIX,
DATASET='ADJUSTMENTS/CONTEST_ADJUSTMENT 1 1.TXT', $
SEGNAME= CONTEST _ADJUSTMENT, SEGTYPE=S1, $

Hi Ravi,

You can reference the specific file but not a previous version of it:

FILENAME=HOLDCAR, SUFFIX=FIX,
 DATASET=C:\IBI\APPS\IBISAMP\HOLDCAR.FTM,$
 SEGMENT=HOLDCAR, SEGTYPE=S0, $
    FIELDNAME=COUNTRY, ALIAS=E01, USAGE=A10, ACTUAL=A10, $

Regards,

Kathryn
