Filer
If the Field is not yet set up when you use Number,
Filer sets it up for 12 digits, a decimal, and
2
decimal
places. You can edit the number of digits on either side
of the decimal with Add or Delete. Data entered in the
field aligns around the decimal.
If
the Field is already defined, Number right-justifies
any data entered in the field when
it
is
displayed or
printed.
In the Field area, press
0
to delete the character
under the marker.
In the Label area, press
0
to delete the entire field,
including the Label.
In the Field area, press
0
to add
1
character
at
the
current marker position.
In the Label area, press
0
to add a new field at the
current marker position. All fields below the marker
move down
1
line.

Merge
Press
0
to merge another Filer file into the current file.
At the prompt, enter the name of the file you want to merge into
this file.
If
the file formats are
exactly
the same, copies of all the
records in the
(F
r
o
m)
file are merged into this file. If duplicate
records exist in the
2
files, the extra records are not merged into
the file.
Copying a Form to Use in Another File.
When you merge 2 files,
the formats of the files must be identical. Since
1
character difference
makes the files incompatible, make a copy of this file after you set
up your format (before you enter any records). This procedure
is
done
at the Main Menu. (See “Main Menu Functions-Copy.”)
