WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Numeric information in a WP 5.1 DOS secondary merge file converted to Spreadsheet DIF is not importing into dBASE correctly. The numeric information is scrambled and partially lost. Solutions: The WordPerfect conversion is working correctly. dBASE requires a special conversion to import information into a field defined as having date information. When the user looked at the file information at DOS after converting it to Spreadsheet DIF, all of the numeric information was maintained. In the dBASE manual under Conversion, it lists how the user can convert character information to date information.
