[Logic] Marking QSLs to print?

Mon, 20 May 2002 23:19:25 -0400

you want  sort the file on your criteria.  The easiest way to do this is
build a key  field and index the key.
Once the file is in order, read through and store a record to a memory
variable, SKIP to the next record, Compare the current record to the one in
memory, if there is a match, mark it, if not get the next record.
Another method,  would be to create two files (old-new) and compare them.
To do this will require some familiarity with dBase commands and syntax.

It might be much easier to use the existing Reports to produce the data.
ie, if you want to QSL new DXCC CW contacts, run the appropriate report and
manually mark the log records.
I use this method because I don't like to make global field changes to my
log file outside of the Logic framework.

And a question......does any one know why Excel will not produce dBase
readable .DBF files when the computer system date is greater than 12/31/00?

It goes without saying that you should only do this with copies of your log
file.

Subject: [Logic] Marking QSLs to print?

I would like to be able to mark newly imported contest contacts for QSL
label printing, but do not know the dBase commands to use to sort them the
way I want.  Can anyone help?

 The criteria are to print a label for any new contact that has NOT had one
printed for the same band AND mode for a previous QSO.
  So, I would like to compare all new contacts (usually from a 2-day period
of a contest) to all others in the database, and if a previous entry with
the same station has QSL_SENT=F and BAND and MODE are the same, the new
contact would be marked QSL_SENT=X.  If the BAND and MODE are not the same
as any previous ones, set QSL_SENT=R.

  I do use the Database Command screen for other massaging of the database,
but the syntax and commands to do the above requirements has escaped me so
far.

   It is a real pain with 30k contacts in the log to compare all the
entries in the popular countries to see if I want to print a label after a
contest.

  Help!! 73 - Glenn
