Re: Importing ascii-file into database in OPOProfessional

Rolf,

You need to read the file with Basic method code. There's a whole (large) chapter on moving data in, out, and around in the new O'Reilly book,
*Mastering Oracle Power Objects*. It's just started shipping. Rick G. did that chapter, and there's a *ton* of example code in it.

Details are over at http://www.ora.com/catalog/oraclepo/ Hope this helps.
