Merging Two Files Cause The Fields To Get Out |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When merging a primary and secondary file, the merged fields get out of sequence starting with Field 14 in the secondary document. However, when the customer takes the secondary file through the Convert program, he can merge the two files without any problems. Presently, the field delimiters for the secondary file are: Begin: none Ending: ^F[CR][LF] and the record delimiters are: Begin: none Ending: ^S[CR][LF] Solutions: The delimiters in WordPerfect need to set to the following: Field Delimiters-- Begin: none Ending: ^F[CR] Record Delimiters-- Begin: none Ending: ^S[CR] This worked as the customer expected. The recommendation is to not use these control characters but change them to plain ASCII characters. This advice is to help with any other problems that might occur. |
