: I am trying to use generic import of transactions. The open dialog box on version 6 allows me to specific the format which I entered as this.

: UD,TRAN,SYMB,ANUM,BNUM,CNUM

: Example lines from my text file look like this.

: UD,TRAN,SYMB,ANUM,BNUM,CNUM
: 020624,BUY,JNJ,52.63,20,0.00
: 020701,BUY,JNJ,51.98,20,0.00
: 020715,BUY,JNJ,46.35,5,19.95

: Question 1. If the format is specified in the open dialog box, then does it need to also be in the text file itself?

: Question 2. If it must also be in the text file, does it need to be before each line to be imported as follows?

: UD,TRAN,SYMB,ANUM,BNUM,CNUM
: 020624,BUY,JNJ,52.63,20,0.00
: UD,TRAN,SYMB,ANUM,BNUM,CNUM
: 020701,BUY,JNJ,51.98,20,0.00
: UD,TRAN,SYMB,ANUM,BNUM,CNUM
: 020715,BUY,JNJ,46.35,5,19.95

: Thanks. Thor

Hi Thor,

You do not need to have the format in the text file. You only enter it
into the dialog box.

Thanks,
Mark
