Importing a yes/no field
Hi there,
I am trying to import data from a text file using the import dialog (and then this will be saved into a .dbi), but I am having hard time to import a yes/no field; I tried to use the word yes and no (using quotes ' , double quotes and without quotes), 1 and 0, true and false, but I did not succeed in any case; what keyeord should I use?
Regards
Just did a test and it worked fine.
SomeText~YesNo~Choice
First record~yes~One
Second Record~no~Two
Third Record~yes~Three
Fourth Recrod~no~Four
See attached file.
Exported from and imported into the same form.
What version of DataEase are you using?
The name of the field in the first row of import file was mispelled (blush).

Don't beat yourself up over it. The majority of bugs we "struggle" with in the DataEase code too is misspelling...
We have an internal procedure of copy/pasting variable names as the first "debugging" round simply to help with the widespread "dyslexia" in this organisation.
