Problem

Symptoms: The last quote is not being stripped when merging with a dBASE III Plus file. According to the customer, dBASE III Plus does not end the last field of a record with a comma. So when he merges the dBASE (unconverted) file with a primary file it merges the last quote of the last field into the file. Solutions: You should use the following delimiters (set in Setup, Initial Settings, Merge) to merge a dBASE (unconverted) file: Field Delimiters - Begin " - End ", Record Delimiters - Begin - End "[CR][LF]
