Importing records on a script

[angel]

Im trying to import records from several files to a main file. Each file contains only a record. Manually there is no problem as I specify each time for every file "keeping them in the original record" and it works. But on a script you can't specify "keep..." so it takes the default (splitting them in different records). As a result of this the record is multiply several times. Thanks for your help.

I think what you are trying to do is import records with repeating fields.

Open your import script and uncheck 'Perform without dialog'. The script step should read:

Import Records [Restore,Filename]

Next run the script and check the Keeping in Original record box.

Now go back to Scriptmaker and edit the Import Records step to perform without dialog by checking the 'Perform without dialog' box. It should now read:

Import Records [Restore,No Dialog,Filename]

As you exit the script editor check the 'Replace Import Order' box.

It should now keep the records as single records when you import.

Hope this helps.
