Hi.

I intend to use FTOUCH utility to load an entire application with about 27,000 Natural objects.

This objects were sent to me as simple text files, without any header or line numbers and now I need to load them into Natural for Windows.

Anybody could tell me if I’ll can do it without problems?

Actually, I just found a problem. By default, FTOUCH utility loads all the objects in report mode. I know if I use the ‘sm’ parameter I can load all of them in strucutre mode.  
Is there a way to load them with its right mode?

Thanks a lot.

You need to separate your RM and SM modules before using FTOUCH. It does not analyse the contents to work out what is what. Also, I cannot see it working without the headers.
