Example 8.6: Importing a Procedure
In this example, we will import a Procedure record by using the PROC_OUT.ASC
file we created via an export in Example 8.3.
1. Using a text editor (such as the Windows Notepad application), open the
PROC_OUT.ASC file. (Assuming you worked through the export in Example
8.3, the PROC_OUT.ASC file will be located in the directory containing your
database files. The directory containing your database files is specified with
the LccPath variable in your DPCTRACK.INI file.)
2. Edit the Procedure Name field to be “SAMPLEPROC2” (excluding the
quotes).
3. Change the middle testpoint (“50”) to “40”.
4. Save the file as “PROC_IN.ASC” (excluding the quotes).
Now that we have our import file created, let’s access the Import tool.
5. On DPC/TRACK’s Main Menu, select the Import/Export button. The
Import/Export Selection screen appears.
6. On the Import/Export Selection screen, select the Import Procedure...
button.
7. Select Proceed on the subsequent screen. After the import, a screen appears,
displaying the number of records imported.
8. Select OK. The Import/Export Selection screen appears.
9. Select the Main Menu button to return to the Main Menu.
At this point, you may verify the addition of the imported Procedure record by
performing a search of the Procedure database. (See Chapter 3, “Searching for
Records,” for information on searching for Procedure records.)
