The Extension property is used to:
  • get the extension of a data file defined in the data model editor or through programming.
  • define the extension of a data file (when the file is described through programming only).
Example
// Find out the name and full path of the Customer data file
NameAndFullPath is string
NameAndFullPath = Customer.Directory + "\" + ...
Customer.PhysicalName + Customer.Extension
// NameAndFullPath corresponds to "C:\MyFiles\Customer.Fic"
// Define the extension of the AFile file
AFile is File Description
AFile.Name = "CUSTOMER"
AFile.Extension = ".AAA"
// The created file will be named "CUSTOMER.AAA"
