If you have input files that differ from the standard format, you may create an individual FMT for the exceptions. ZIPCount looks for an individual FMT within the same directory and with the same base name as the input file. If one is found, it overrides the default FMT. You can use $JOB at this parameter, which converts to the base job file name (without a path or extension). 12 ZIPCount User's Guide Input File block *To specify multiple input files, the input block may be repeated. BEGIN Input Input Input Field END Input File ============================================== File Name (Location & file name). . . . . . . . . = \pw\ace\out. dbf File Type (ASCII/DBASE3/RMS/RMS_FIXED). . . = dbase3 Filter (to 512 chars). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . = to Count. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . = zipcart Input File Name (Location & file name) Remember to include the full path name if the input file is not located in the current directory. $JOB is accepted at this parameter, for example, $job. dbf, $job. dat or $job. txt Input File Type (ASCII/DBASE3) All ASCII files must have an accompanying FMT file. All DBASE3 file field lengths and names are read from the header at the top of the file. Input filter (to 512 chars) Use this feature to exclude records and focus your ZIPCount reports. For example, if you want to drop-ship within a certain radius of your plant, you could use an input filter to eliminate distant ZIP Codes. As in our other programs, ZIPCount processes only those records that result in TRUE when the filter expressing is evaluated. Field to Count This parameter defaults to ZIP. It simply relies on the FMT or header to find the field to count. $JOB is accepted at this parameter, for example $job. [. . . ] Suppresses prompt suppressed for overwrite.
