Open *DBF Files with Multiple import

Hello,

 

I want to open many DBF files. 

If I open every file separately then this ist no problem.

But if I try to open al files with the multiple import, then it don't work.

I get one table with the Filename in one line and it is written "Nicht unterstütztes Dateiformat" (Unsupported file format).

Could someone solve this problem?

Please forward this information JMP's technical support.  They will then ensure that the information gets to the appropriate developer.  Thanks for the information.

Re: Open *DBF Files with Multiple import

It is a good wish list item too. I don't think MFI understands DBF.

https://community.jmp.com/t5/JSL-Cookbook-Archived/Concatenate-data-tables/ta-p/82457 might be a good start for a work-around. There are a number of similar scripts using FilesInDirectory() posted here.
