Before option "F", "Define New File" , can be used to add a new file to the specified database, an FDT must be defined for the file. Alternatively, you may choose to use an already existing FDT (retained from a Delete File function run with the "SAVE FDT" option).
To add a new file for which an FDT has been defined
Select option "F" (define new file).
Specify the number of the file to be added.
Specify the database to which it will be added.
Press ENTER.
If the file already exists in that database, a message is displayed at the top of the menu.
