Multi Format Files

 A Multi Format logical file is based on multiple physical files.

All the records do not have the same description (format). WinDev can handle only one format per file.

When a Multi Format file is open, its first format is used by default.
To override this, you can change the file name in the extended info, by addinig:

 *FORMAT=

After the file name:

Example:

<EASYCOM>
MAIN=MYLIB/CUSTFILE *RFORMAT=format2
</EASYCOM>
