CREATING DESCRIPTIVE DATABASE FILE
2. Do not use special characters or symbols.
3. For separation use an underscore "_" and not a space.
4. If possible, do not exceed 16 characters.
5. The acceptable name length is determined by the database
driver. It is recommended however that no more than 16
characters be used.
Once the NAME has been allocated for an archive box, the
sequence of the corresponding configuration is immaterial.
Allocation of the configuration is completed as soon as a new
archive box is described.
=TYPE=
For each archive box a field type must be defined. This is
achieved by the key word
=TYPE=string, x255
Six definitions are available: string, date, integer, longint,
logical, volume.
→ string:
If the user is to be permitted to enter a string of characters in an
archive box, define the field type as a "string". Additionally, the
permitted length of the string must be entered, prefixed with an
"x".
If, for example, you have the archive box with the name
"Operator" into which the user may only enter his name with a
maximum of 20 characters, the syntax will be:
=NAME=Operator
=TYPE=string, x20
→ date:
The current date is entered by the program using the syntax
"DATE". The field type can be extended by the following
instructions:
%d → day of the month
%m → month of the year
