Create a CSV of your Data Structure with field lengths

Download and unzip the seqstructure.zip file into the root level of the AccuZIP6 5.0 folder.

Open any database and run the following command to create a Comma Separated file of the Database Structure with the Start-Stop Character Positions for each field in the database:

=SeqStructure(DBF())

You can also add one or two more parameters to output a different file type (other than CSV) and certain field names. This outputs the result to Fixed Length.

=SeqStructure(DBF(),"TYPE SDF")

Change to TAB using: TYPE DELIMITED WITH TAB

=SeqStructure(DBF(),"TYPE DELIMITED WITH TAB")

The third parameter can control which field attributes get output:

  • These are all the possible output field attributes
  • You can remove which ever fields you want, and the preceding comma
=SeqStructure(DBF(),"TYPE SDF"," FIELDS field_name,field_type,field_len,start,end")

"I recently ended probably the most helpful chat ever with your employee Aurora Crouch! She was so extremely thorough and made sure that the install and setup of Accuzip was ready to go. She was also so patient and polite as I fumbled around trying to remember how a PC works! I honestly can't say enough about how amazing and helpful and kind she was! I appreciate her help so very much, she is a great employee and makes it so easy for people like me (who have no idea what they are doing) to get things set up as they need to be. Thank you so much for all of your help and for having someone like Aurora on staff, she is literally a godsend!"
