Building B. Again, be sure to separate these entries with Tab keys, and end
the row with an Enter.
In order to eventually import this information, the next step would be to save this
file as INST_IN.ASC within the directory containing your database files. Note that
the ASCII file we created contains only three database fields and two Tag ID
records. In actuality, you may specify up to 42 fields for your Tag ID records. The
42 headers you may use are listed in Table 8-1. The INST_IN.ASC file that came
with DPC/TRACK already has all of these headers entered, along with some
sample data for one Tag ID record.
Importing Tag ID Data
For a given Tag ID record, there are 42 fields into which you may import data
