Error - "Invalid Format In Record #" In Parad |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: When you use WordPerfect to create or edit files to be imported into Borland's Paradox database, you need to adjust the Paper Size/Type, Left/Right Margin, and Font codes in the WordPerfect document so that one record occupies only one line on the WP document screen. If one record wraps to a second line, then the error "Invalid Format In Record #" will appear when the file is retrieved into Paradox. This error occurs when a hard return is found in the middle of the field in Paradox. To correct this error, you should go back to WP, use List Files to retrieve the DOS text (ASCII) file, and modify the file so that each record uses only one line of the screen. It may be necessary to choose either a very small point size, like 4 or 6, or to select a paper size which is very wide. It may be necessary to create a Paper Size/Type which is beyond the capability of the printer, but the file will not be printed. Also, you may want to change the left and right margins to 0 or as close as possible given the printer's minimum margins. Once each record fits on one line, you should save the document with Text In/Out (Ctrl-F5). |
