export/import

[Chris hughes]

Hi Grant I once had a corrupt data file. I solved the problem by writing
some code (next statement) where you keep walking through the selected data
file until you get a false you number of records might indicate 1,000 and it
might only get to 400 records. Then you can do the reverse the procedure go
to last record then use the Previous to walk backwards and see how far you
get. Then grab whatever data you can, and delete the file.

Just my thoughts.

I have a datafile (8 segments of .dfx), which appears to be corrupted.

It is currently in 4.3.x non-unicode.

In preparation to move to 8.0.x unicode, I tried a full check and repair,
but I immediately get the beachball of doom (Mac).  If I try to just convert
it, the counter goes indefinitely, long after the conversion bar is
complete.

So I assume the datafile is corrupt.

The database has over 100 slots, and each slot has from 10 to 400 fields.
Using the tools Omnis has provided seems like a lot of work.

Does anyone have a useful tool to automate the export/import process?

Grant
