The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When using the {NEST SECONDARY}filename~ command with an ASCII delimited file, the user receives the error message "Incompatible File Format." Solutions: The error message is valid for these circumstances. For this reason, the feature to use ASCII delimited was added to the program. (The keystrokes for this are Ctrl-F9, 1, type in primary filename, press Enter, and press Ctrl-F5. The user is prompted for the ASCII secondary filename.) Unfortunately, the {NEST SECONDARY} command has no parameter to warn WordPerfect what type of secondary file is being used. (This information also applies to WP 5.1 for Windows.)

This problem does not occur in WordPerfect 6.0 for Windows.
