Memo and data conversion rules

[TinLegs]

Help please, I have searched the help files but no luck.

I created a Convert.clw to convert a CSV file to a TPS file (Generate Source). In my TPS file I have a couple of MEMO fields ie. MEMO(1000). It appears that MEMO fields should not receive data during the conversion process as the Generated Source writes code to CLEAR(MEMO)these MEMO fields, is this correct?

If I remove the CLEAR(MEMO) and assign a string to the MEMO field it does put the string into the Memo field OK but I am unsure if its the right thing to do?

The App & Dct here are legacy and I am using Clarion 6.1

Hi!

The Convert.clw clears the destination's record buffer (<Prefix>:RECORD) and the MEMO's as MEMO's are outside the buffer before assigning the values from the source to the destination. Also, the Convert.clw should ideally be modified to suit your conversion needs.
