  • 1.  Adding a FILE to VI data dictionary

    Posted 09-25-2025 10:33

    I found documentation in our archives on adding FIELDS, but not FILES. I'd like to import into the BM_ComponentReportSelection file.  Can't find anything on how to do this.

    But I did find an amusing (I assume AI-generated) article on "The Origins of Sage 100 Product Name Ambiguity" as I was searching.  :-)

    You can't script it, either. There is no business object for that table. You would need a MD to create one.

    The best I came up with was to use MacroExpress to read my text file of generated demands to populate the task. It was cludgy and not very stable. Contributing complexity to this case was a cornucopia of accessibility solutions for users with limited sight. Some would work, some wouldn't.

    GRRRR.  That sucks.  Pre Business Objects, you used to be able to import into the file used for that.

    We used a Master Developer to customize this for our client as we also could not find a way to enhance the way it functioned.
