When the knowledge base's naming conventions are used unchanged (application area: DB_STANDARDS, environment: KLBCONCEPT) on the AS/400, the equivalent Adelia Studio programs are available.
The procedure is described below:
- Select BCONNAIS.DLL or BCONNAIS128.DLL (with guide words limited respectively to 15 and 128 characters) as the specific DLL in the environment attributes' Miscellaneous tab.
- Then create the work file FICHIEP containing the file of files' data.
The syntax of the FICHIEP file is as follows:
EntityName,Prefix,Description,FileName;
...
Example:
CUSTOMER,CU,Customer File,CUSTP;
ORDER,OR, ,ORDERP;
ITEM,IT,Items,ITEMP;
