I have been working with Microsoft's Multiplan on the Commodore 64
and have run into a snag. Does anyone know how I can "include" a file on
disk into a file resident within the computer. I don't want to create
an Xternal link to the file, I actually want to copy all the information
into a specified location within my current file.
I've tried COPY, XTERNAL, MOVE, etc. and none of them seem to do what I want.
For example, on the left is an example of a 2x2 sheet which I have loaded
through TRANSFER LOAD. On the right is a file that, if loaded, would
occupy the same row/column locations. What I want to do is to copy
the contents of the disk file (on the right) into a location of my choice
in the sheet in the computer (say, for example, starting at row 3, column 2).
COMPUTER FILE DISK FILE
COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3 | COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2
ROW 1 100.00 200.00 | ROW 1 700.00 800.00
ROW 2 300.00 400.00 | ROW 2 900.00 1000.00
ROW 3 | ROW 3
ROW 4 | ROW 4
NEW FILE
COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 COLUMN 3
ROW 1 100.00 200.00
ROW 2 300.00 400.00
ROW 3 700.00 800.00
ROW 4 900.00 1000.00
Any thoughts or suggestions? Please respond via mail.
