Hello Chris, I am trying to create a structure FILE.DFS but the DataTools is not importing the structure of idy file generated in version vc.2.3. Simply does not show the layout of the record. With traditional DataTools generate the FILE.STR normally. What could be happening?

I tested this here with a simple record layout for an indexed file and it worked fine.

There is an entry under Restrictions in the Help that says the following:

"When creating a structure file, you cannot use an .idy file from a project compiled with the ODOSLIDE Compiler directive"

Are you setting the ODOSLIDE directive on when compiling your program?

If not then I will need some more details or a simple demo containing your select and fd for your file along with the directives that you are compiling with so I can test this here.

Thanks.

The problem appears to be that the current version of DFED2 will not recognize layouts from an .idy file created from a managed code build.

To get the structure file created, create a native version of the program containing the file definition and use that .idy file instead.

The DFED2 product component is still in Technical Preview.

Thanks.

It worked, but I have several files and prefer, for now, continue to use the previous version. Thanks.

I have created a bug report for the reported problem so it will most likely be fixed in a future release.

Thanks.
