sorry for the typo.

“Alt<” enter ‘c_pi_txt”. should be

“Alt<” enter ‘c_pi.txt”.

Good Luck

Since you are using SuperLayer (SL), I assume you are on a Glovia ERP.
To load data from Excel:
1- Save the worksheet in CSV format with comma delimited, or if the data has impeded commas (e.g. address), use semi comma. This will create a file with extension “.csv”
2- Rename this file to extension “.txt”. Assume the file name is “c_pi.txt”
3- Copy this file to …../userdata directory.

In SL
1- Option #2 create a file, for example “C_PI” (for Physical Inventory). In the alternate file name field, “Alt<” enter ‘c_pi_txt”.
2- Make the first field “C_PI_RECORD” with record length say “A” 200, and make sure that the Key field is blank. When getting out from the File Def, you are going to get an error message about file has no key, ignore it.
3- Use Option # 7 External File. File name = C_PI, File type = SEQ
4- Make the External type for the only field “C_PI_RECORD” “ALPHA”.

Create a function that reads C_PI file and updating the Glovia file/table.
Using the FOR statement look for the comma and move the data, for example:

#X = LEN(C_PI_RECORD)
FOR #I = 1 TO #X
IF C_PI_RECORD(#I,#I) = ‘;’ THEN LOOPEXIT;
ENDFOR
ITEM = C_PI_RECORD(1,(#I – 1))
#J = #I + 1
FOR #K = #J TO #X
IF C_PI_RECORD(#K,#K) = ‘;’ THEN LOOPEXIT
ENDFOR
REVISION = C_PI_RECORD(#J,(#K – 1))

And so on. You need to hard code the CCN in key mapping window, if it is not on the excel file.
