Enhancements Control File and Text Files

When using the /LEH option in Loadstub command-line syntax, you must specify the name of an enhancements control file. The enhancements control file is an initialization (.ini) file that Data Access Objects (DAO) uses to update fields in the Guide database from information in a text file. The enhancements control file contains this text:

[DataFile.txt]
Format=TabDelimited
ColNameHeader=False
CharacterSet=ANSI
Col1=ID Text
Col2=Title Text
Col3="Show Reference" Text
Col4="Preload URL" Text
Col5=Address Text
Col6="Expire Date" DateTime

You must replace DataFile.txt with the name of a text file containing data about your enhancements. This text file must reside in the same directory as the enhancements control file. Each line in the enhancement data file is a record representing an enhancement. The fields within each record are separated by tabs and are the same as the fields in the Enhancement Table. However, in records in the enhancement data file, fields should be listed in the order specified in the enhancements control file.
