SUMMARY
=======
The following information applies to the APPEND command in FoxBASE+:
- The APPEND BLANK command locks only the file header.
- The APPEND FROM command does not support the dBASE III PLUS IMPORT/EXPORT
command. However, the APPEND FROM and COPY TO commands support reading and
creating ASCII text files with TYPE DELIMITED or TYPE SDF. FoxBASE+ does not
directly support importing and exporting DIF, SYLK, or other file types.
- To load a DATE field type from an ASCII field with the APPEND FROM command,
the date must be stored as YYYYMMDD.
- The APPEND FROM command cannot import a memo field.
- The APPEND FROM SDF command loads fixed-length records that are separated by
spaces in a columnar form. Records are delimited by a carriage return and a
linefeed pair.
- The APPEND FROM DELIMITED command uses quotation marks to delimit character
fields in an ASCII text file, unless the SET DELIMITER TO command specifies a
different delimiter. Commas separate the fields, unless the TYPE BLANK
command specifies that fields are separated by blanks.
