To skip a parameter, type a comma in its place.
The switches, /A and /C, are not positional and are not separated by commas.
The only required parameter is mask, the mask file name. If no other parameters are specified, DataImport uses the parameters from when the mask was created or last saved. If a parameter is not specified either on the command line or in the mask, the translation cannot proceed. DataImport aborts the translation and displays a message that indicates which parameters are missing or invalid.
mask - The mask file name, including the path if necessary. This is the only required parameter.
input - The input file name, including the path and extension if necessary.
output - The output file name, including the path if necessary. If you specify an extension, DataImport uses that extension instead of the normal one for the type of translation.
XLS5: Microsoft Excel version 5.0 and 7.0.
display - whether to display the output on screen during translation: Y for yes, N for no. The default is yes.
confirm - whether Include Line and Exclude Line treatments must be confirmed manually during the translation. Y for yes, N for no. The default is no.
/A - append the output of the translation to the end of an existing output file.
/C - combine the output of the translation into an existing spreadsheet output file.
