AC510 - Attribute Import

Use this form to import non-Lawson attribute information to the LAWSON
INSIGHT Activity Management system. The data is stored in the ACIFATTR
(Activity Attribute Import) file. When you run AC510 (Attribute Import), it
updates the ACACTMXVAL (Activity List Attribute Values) file.

This program lets you import attributes when adding new activities or when
attaching attributes to existing activities. This program and AC500 (Activity
Import) can be run separately (at different times). An online program, AC51.1
(Attribute Import Adjustment), allows editing of imported records.
