Hello Everyone,

I had a similar case where we went from a list to spreadsheet form in Access. But, I'm not sure if this can be reverse engineered. I was told that you needed to use COBOL or C++ to do this :-/ but I wanted to check with the board first. The data from one system will be extracted in Tab delimited format. The system it needs to go to will only except 'Field List Format', which looks like this:
00000000000000ZINVCD I173
00000000000000ZSYSID PIMS
00000000000000ZORG IMP BOND

00000000000000ZINVCD is the field and I173 is the fields value. Each field repeats this way and then starts over when a new record starts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Jeanna
