Dear Ricardo,<br> <br>Yes, I did as like as you explained. I am in doubt, maybe I have to do it again. I have a question; the source fnl file has a size of 23 MB, but after converting it to a ctl and an idx file, each of them has a size of just seven kb, is it correct and acceptable? I think maybe the converting process has not been done correctly.<br>

will CREATE an index file. The name of this index file is set in your .ctl file, as follow in the example below:<br>> <br>> dset fnl_20081112_18_00_c<br>> index anyname.idx<br>> title Test<br>> etc ...<br>

't you think; it is related to converting process from fnl type to a c
