Importing FCC Data – Fixed Facility Database
Q: How can I import File Exchange Formatted FCC data or Percon FCC data into my TAPÔ Fixed Facility database?
A: TAP systems on Maintenance Subscriptions in effect on or after June 15, 2003, and updated to Build 908 or later, have a new set of menus in the Fixed Facility Lookup form:
You can use the Import menu to select a database file (for example SLATLM.DBF, but if the file has a different name, you can select any file name) to import. (Note that this is the same Percon output file used for importing into the TAP Intermod program.)
Click the Import menu and select the format of data to import (one of which is Percon FCC Data):
The program will prompt you for the file you want to import:
Click the Import button to start the import process:
The progress of records being imported will be displayed:
When the import is completed, the word "Done" will be displayed until you move the mouse over the form:
The View menu on the Fixed Facility Lookup form can be used to show additional information about FCC Filing information:
When the "Show Filing Information" item is checked, the filing information is displayed if it is available:
