Need to import part information from an ascii file into MAS 90 ERP
system  using a program script. Part information is written out to an
ascii file from a PDM (product data management system). First time
dealing with the MAS 90 ERP system. Could some one please explain with
the help of a pseudo code how to accomplish this. An actual script
would make my life easier.

Hi, 

Unless things have drastically changed in the last two years, this is
not an easy thing to do. There is a function set in the program that
is "advertised" to work, and gives some instructions, but I never
found it to work properly or consistently. I did a major conversion
into MAS90 about two years ago, and even with 10 years experience in
database and conversions, I was scratching my head more than getting
anything done.

My advice, is, if you have a huge amount of data that has to go in,
then hire a MAS90 professional to make the conversion. If at all
possible, and I mean this, If you can leave the existing system
running for historic data and start your MAS90 from scratch, I would
do that. It may be a bit of a hassle, but it will probably not equal
the hassle and missing data problems of a conversion.

Another thing you may want to keep in mind as well, getting your
information back out is even more difficult.
