ODBC to DBF files / Filtering Deleted Records

Hello !

I'm loading records from DBF tables, using the LOAD statement such as the example below :

EDITORAS:

LOAD

     EDITORA AS EDITORA_KEY

    ,NOMFAN

    ,RAZSOC

    ,ENDEDI

    ,COMEDI

    ,BAIEDI

    ,CIDEDI

    ,UFEDIT

    ,CEPEDI

    ,DDDEDI

    ,TELEDI

    ,RAMEDI

    ,CONEDI

    ,RECNO() AS RECNO_DER_EDITORAS;

SQL SELECT

    *

FROM ARQEDI.DBF;

The problem is that this table, ARQEDI.DBF, has DELETED records. On DBF table, deleted records are logically marked as deleted , but they remain on the database upon it's reorganization (PACK).

How do I filter those records during the LOAD process ?

Thanks !

Hi,

can you post or send an example DBF file?

Hi !

I have found the answer myself here !

The problem is a ODBC configuration. There's a check box there inside which configures if you load deleted records or not :

Thanks for you answer !

I did a simple kit scenario, outside the original app, and while messing with the ODBC I found the answer.

I could publish on this forum this test kit, however  not found the "upload" button for a .ZIP file (or a .QVW). Has this been disabled ? I pretty much miss that simple thing. Also miss the "CODE" font style...

But thanks anyway for your support !

See ya !

This option (load delected records) is standard turned on on my qlikview Windows 64 bit server  but  standard turned off on my windows 7 64bit  client pc.

Jose, your suggestion helped me to solve this...
