If these certain part numbers are present in that order, I have to do some different things when I start reading and posting the data lines using the “NewOrder” file handle.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> I understand that “getnext” and “getprev” don’t work with “import ascii”.
