Importing Data

I’m trying to import data into a form using a column definition file, all seems to be working except when I try to populate a couple of fields that are ‘name’ fields. However I try to get the data into these fields it always appears as just ‘Text’

My input definition is :-

DocAuthors: TYPE TEXTLIST UNTIL “,”;

DocReaders: TYPE TEXTLIST UNTIL “,”;

What is the correct type definition for a names field or can it even be done this way.

Thanks in advance

It Is a long time since I used .COL files but I don’t think you can create readers and authors fields using them (but i may be wrong). I think you’ll have to run an LS agent after the import to switch the field type to AUTHORS and READERS. These days I’d tend to write the whole import routine in LS anyway then the Readers, Authors field etc can be created as you go.
