dBASE SCREEN 1

In this group of Slides we will look at both dBASE II and dBASE III.

Here we are using dBASE II to look at the output .DBF files from PAYBATCH.COM
These files are ready to use and need no further translation.  The PAYDB3.DBF
file is a dBASE III file and we will look at that seperately with dBASE III

dBASE SCREEN 2

Because of the dBASE II limitation on number of fields per record we had
to split the payroll information into 4 files.  One for basic information,
one for income items, one for deductions, and one for the left over net
items.  They all have common ID fields so you can link them together.
This is the first page of basic information.

dBASE SCREEN 3

... continuation of previous basic information record.





dBASE SCREEN 4

This is the first page in the income database file.  As you can see it is
a quite normal dBASE II file just as though it had been keyed in.  All the
dBASE functions will work with it.



dBASE SCREEN 5

... continuation of previous income information record.





dBASE SCREEN 6

This is the first record in the deductions database file.





dBASE SCREEN 7

... continuation of previous deductions information record.





dBASE SCREEN 8

Here is the net items record and the end of the dBASE II Slides.   In the
next few screens we will look at dBASE III .




dBASE SCREEN 9

Here we are using dBASE III to look at the PAYDB3.DBF file created by the
PAYBATCH.COM program.   This file is ready to use and needs no further
translation.



dBASE SCREEN 10

This is the structure of the file.  dBASE III does not have the same low
limit for number of fields that dBASE II has so we were able to put everything
in one file.   We will page through the structure.



dBASE SCREEN 11

... another page of structure





dBASE SCREEN 12

... and another





dBASE SCREEN 13

... and another





dBASE SCREEN 14

... and another





dBASE SCREEN 15

... down to the end of the structure.





dBASE SCREEN 16

Here we will page through the first record in the file to show you what is on
it.




dBASE SCREEN 17

... more on the first record





dBASE SCREEN 18

.... more still





dBASE SCREEN 19

... and again





dBASE SCREEN 20

.. and down to the end of the record.  As you can see it is quite normal, just
the same as if it had been keyed in.  All dBASE III functions will work with
it.
