The PROCSRV procedure scan_xbase returns the entire contents of a
dBASE III - or dBASE IV - formatted file as a relational results set. This procedure is an example of the ability of Open Data Services to access data that is not held in a relational database and to return results in a form that can be used in the SQL Server database environment. For example:
execute PROCSRV...scan_xbase 'c:\sql\opends\samples\procsrv\build\sales.dbf'
The parameter enclosed in quotation marks is the fully qualified path to the dBASE-format file.
