Uimport:

Data file created from exported database fields

When you export your database records to a comma-separated ASCII file, the records appear in the data file as shown here:

``Jones'',``Adam'',``J'',``111 South 8th East'',``Salt Lake
City'',``Utah'',``84007'',``2345'',``Sophomore'',``Environmental
Engineering'',``2.8'',``Engineering Sciences''

``Smith'',``John'',``D'',``222 North Cerillos'',``Los Angeles'',``California'',``96000'',``2875'',``Senior'',``Accounting'', ``3.0'',``Business Administration''

Corresponding import control file

Using the data file as a guide, you could set up the import control file to import the data file fields as shown here. This example assumes that you are creating new users in the NDS database:

Import control

User template=y

Home directory path=``Students/Home''
Home directory volume=``.SYSVOL.Student Records''
