Return to Catalog P5 Parse is a Plus V add-on utility. Many Plus V may also wish to load the data into spreadsheets or databases for additional analysis. The problem is that most database and spreadsheet packages limit the amount of data that can be loaded. dBase, for example, permits 128 fields, and even FoxPro only allows 255. Excel cannot load and entire card. The Plus V file has over 1,125 fields.
P5 Parse solves this by allowing you to create your own data dictionary-- a subset of the data provided in the Plus V file. P5 Parse then creates a comma-delimited file containing only the fields that you have specified. You can create innumerable data dictionaries, which can be re-loaded from disk and re-used.
