First point to be noted is, you are not supposed to add amend the core I_F files.



If you want to add local fields you need to use LOCAL.TABLE and LOCAL.REF.TABLE applications.



To create I_F files for your local application you need to use FILE.LAYOUT program in jBASE/UNIVERSE prompt.

Hi,



This is a new technique used by developers; to an INSERT files for local ref table, without using GET.LOC.REF function.



It is supposed to be faster. But (IMHO) not reliable, as any change tothe LOCAL.REF.TABLE must be followed by this table being updated.



Back to the question: I have seen locally developed apps/routines written by users to update the I_F.LR* files.

Hi,



Give your requirement here. We try to give you a nice utility.


EB.PHANTOM

please go to download section, i have attached the subroutine which creates the inserts for local refs. you will have to create a PGM.FILE with Type = M in the name of the subroutine LRF.FILELAYOUT

after you run this , the insert file will be created in the BP directory.

every time any local ref is created or updated for a specific application, this routine should be run.

Buddy the client should agree to use the additional file created,i.e.I_LR....



For your info it can be updated as...



R.REC = XXX
