Managing the Subscriber Database with ZbaseW
80 025-9034AA
ASCII Tab
The ASCII tab is provided mainly as a means for the system technician to export data files
used by ZbaseW to other directories on the PC hard drive or from other drives available
over the network so that they can be used in other applications (such as spreadsheets or
billing programs). You may also import data in the form of a universal ASCII file with a
<CR><LF> delimiter per record. The primary use for the import function is to support the
importing of data from the older DOS-based Zbase program,
Import Subscribers
Selecting the Import Subscribers button on the ASCII tab opens a standard file browser
window to allow you to point to the location and file to import as a replacement for the
current subscriber records file.
By default, the file name “
subs2000.asc” is supplied as the file name of the file to
import.

2. On the ASCII tab, select the Import Subscribers button.
3. In the file browser window that opens, browse to the correct location and select the
file to import.
