Question about I/O to ASCI file (plain text)

Hi,

I'm having difficulty writing to an ASCII file with a serialRecord.

I've read in the reference guide that the specified file name is a logical
name and that it is binded at run or build time to a physical name. (Which
could be platform specific). Howerver in the guide is only described how it
is done logically, but not where or how exactly. Can somebody please help me
with this....

Also if there are more books available besides the 980 pages large
referenece guide (with a lot of theory but not a lot of complete examples) I
would appreciate it to know.

I have the following code (snippets):

DataDef:

package data;

Record Egltest type SQLRecord { tableNames = ("ROB.EGLTEST"), keyitems =
("cust_no") }
cust_no CUST_NO {column = "CUST_NO"};
cust_name CUST_NAME {column = "CUST_NAME", isNullable = yes};
end

// define the data to store in the session for a detail of Egltest
Record EgltestKeys type BasicRecord
cust_no CUST_NO;
end

// define the data to store in the session for a list of Egltest
Record EgltestSessionListData type BasicRecord
// index of the first item of the current page
_pageIndex int;
end

Record eglfile type serialRecord { filename = "myfile" }
10 cust_no int;
10 cust_name char(30);
end

main package:

package testpkg;

import data.*;

Program testprg

function main()
rec1 egltest;
rec2 eglfile;

rec2.resourceAssociation = "c:\\test.txt";

open selectRec with #sql{
select cust_no, cust_name
from rob.egltest
}
into rec1.cust_no, rec2.cust_name;

forEach (from selectRec)
move rec1 to rec2 byname;
add rec2;
syslib.wait(1);
end
sysLib.wait(5);
end

end

ERROR:

VGJ0750E The I/O driver for file myfile could not be created. VGJ0751E The
fileType property for file myfile could not be found in the Java run-time
property vgj.ra.fileName.fileType. You need to set the following run-time
