A. If the environmental variable ABE=ASCII is set, when you edit the .prc table with the filePro editor and save it, it will be saved in ASCII format. You can then edit this file with any text editor. Add something when you first create the .prc so the syntax is obvious. Caution: Some delimiters in filePro are really control characters in editors. Make sure that you run your edited prc’s through the syntax check using the filePro editor before executing to avoid ‘filePro errors’.
