How does one create a database in datapage? What command is used in Pc-dmis to write to that database?
Help ? lol
DPEditor is where you make databases. REMEMBER, MOST of Datapage is STILL (more or less) DOS based. This means 8.3 filenames (12345678.TXT) and directories (better safe than sorry!).
Best IDEA #1, make a NEW database ANYPLACE you want it, then never use it. Simply have it 'there' so you can COPY it to where ever you want it.
For Pcdmis, INSERT ~ STATISTICS COMMAND ~ STATISTICS. From this window you will need to ADD the database you want the data to go to. Browse for it until you find it, add it to the list, select it from the list, then OK and you are good to go.
WARNING! NOTHING in the program BEFORE the stat command will go to the database, so you must put the command BEFORE any data (dimensions) you want to go to Datapage. I always put it at the very beginning of the program.
Upon generating my seed database for copying to other locations > I see multiple files are generated. When copying the database for use in other part numbers do I need the whole file package or just one file? I'm guessing one file the one with the extension *.DPD. Please advise > Thanks

OK, let's make sure of this.
1) You created this new database in an (otherwise) empty directory? If so, copy EVERYTHING you see there.
2) You did NOT create the new database in an (otherwise) empty directory? Do so, then you know that everything you see there is required for the database.
