AREV Specific

I am trying to execute an import within a program - i.e.

PERFORM 'IMPORT DB3 WHSE_063'

The problem is when executing this statement, it comes up with windows asking if I want to clear the existing file, and the next window asking what field I want to use as the "key".

The file/table is already defined with the key prompt being item_no

and that is the key I want.

Question:

Does anybody know how to suppress (do not ask)for the windows that show up. I want to import the dbf file into the defined file as is.

You can buffer all the keystrokes prior to running the import
