To maintain user-defined upload formats:You can upload text files to the spooler so that multiple applications can import them.
For example, you have just received a text file of price updates for your plumbing products. Upload this text file into the spooler, and then use the Price Updating function to update the prices for all of your plumbing supplies.
For each type of text file you want to upload, you need to create an upload format, which identifies the subroutine the system uses to format the data and perform the upload.
To maintain user-defined upload formats:
Display the User Defined Upload Format Maintenance screen in one of the following ways:
From the System > System Programming > User Defined Functions menu, select User Defined Upload Processing.
From the Tools > User Defined Documents menu, select User Defined Upload Processing.
In the Label Format Title field, enter a name that identifies the data to upload.
In the Subroutine Name field, enter the name of the subroutine that uploads the data.
Note: The Typ and Form fields do not apply to upload processing, and the DDE Subroutine hot key is for internal use by Eclipse personnel only.
To limit subroutine access to users assigned a designated authorization key, use the Authorization hot key.
At the prompt, press F10 and select the authorization key which must be assigned to the user.
Press Esc to save the information and exit the screen.
