Jobs Default Information Fields

The following field information is intended to assist those who design reports for Sage 50 using Crystal Reports.

Filename: GENERAL_JOBS.DAT

The GENERAL.DAT file contains default information about your Sage 50 company. It contains rows, but each row is very different in layout from the other rows. GENERAL_JOBS.DAT is the job defaults (Module 8) view of Sage 50's GENERAL.DAT file. Most of the field information for GENERAL_JOBS.DAT view is entered or displayed in Sage 50's Jobs Defaults window.

  • To add Sage 50 job default fields to your Crystal reports, select GENERAL_JOBS.DAT.

Note: GENERAL.DAT tables cannot be linked to other Sage 50 data tables, but they can be used individually to extract various default information in your Crystal reports.
