Problem with Grev, the copy command does not copy dictionary item and only the @id info. The copy command normally copies the dictionary and all data fields. Any suggestions????

It would be helpful if you could go into more detail about exactly what you are doing.

When you COPY as below you will only copy data records

  COPY REV.FILE * TO:(NEW.REV.FILE

  This will copy all records in REV.FILE to NEW.REV.FILE. Note that

  NEW.REV.FILE must exist.

If you need to copy Dictonary Records you need to use the following:

  COPY DICT REV.FILE * TO:(DICT NEW.REV.FILE

  This will copy all Dictonary Records from REV.FILE to NEW.REV.FILE

Note: If you require to COPY the WHOLE File (Dict+Data) try using the

    MOVE Command.

    Try looking up commands by typing HELP at Colon Prompt.

I have found the problem! The developer changed a program by mistake and the program was not coping the dictionary to the new file.

Thanks for you response

Thanks:

That was the problem. The developer changed the program and left out the coping of the dict items to the new file! :)

Thanks.
