Hello,
Does anyone know where I can find a spec for the latest dBase file format?
Specifically, I need to know what constitutes a valid field name. As of
dBase 4 (I think), the rules were:
-- must be 10 chars or less, null terminated { truncated at 10 chars }
-- must consist of letters, numbers, or underscores { all non-letters,
nums,
or underscores converted to underscores }
-- the first character must be a letter { make it an 'A' if non-character
}
-- the characters must be uppercase
Has anything changed since then?
TIA for any links...
CB
