Problem-Description :
---------------------
If you call TableTalk you'll see at first a selection-menu where
you've to select a file (like the following example ) :
+----------------------------------+
| Select on of these files: |
+----------------------------------+
| USER |
| USSK |
+----------------------------------+
Very often our file-names which are displayed in the selection-menu
will not give the user a good information (e.g. what means USSK ? or
how you may cut the file-name 'MATERIAL_RECOMMENDATION_SELECTION.DAT'
to a 12-characters-understandable file-name).
Question :
----------
Is it possible to use the rest of line behind 'USER' for a short file-
information and - if yes - how ?

I hope there is anybody who knows the answer to the next question.
We stored our dates in format 'DECDate' which means as a 64-bit-field.
To work with this in FOCUS we used a 'DEFINE-'statement like the
following example :
DEFINE CONVERT_DATE/A20=CVTSTIME(0,ORIG_FIELD,CONVERT_DATE) ;$
But TableTalk don't accept this DEFINE-statement and write not printable
characters in our reports.
How is it possible to convert the date correctly for a report which is
produced by TableTalk ?
Thanks
Peter
