MX60.1 - Attribute Valid Value Maintenance

**Form purpose
Use Attribute Valid Value Adjustment (MX60.1) to view and edit the attribute
values and value ranges imported from a non-Lawson file into the MXVALREL
Lawson database file.

**Prerequisites
The attributes for which you are loading values must already be defined in
the Matrix Attribute (MX) application.  You must run Attribute, Element Load
(MX100) to load all the Lawson predefined attributes with their associated
elements and object types.  If you are interfacing values for user-defined
attributes, you must define the attributes using Attribute (MX00.1).

**Process at a glance
1.  Create a non-Lawson file of attributes and attribute value ranges in a
format that can be imported into the MXVALREL file such as a comma-separated
value  (CSV) file. The fields in the file must match the fields in the
MXVALREL file.

2.  Transfer the non-Lawson file to the target machine, using a transfer
utility program (such as the winptxfr or ftp command). When you transfer the
non-Lawson file, you may need to rename the file for use in the Lawson system
to abide by the file naming rules of your Lawson environment. For example,
assuming you are transferring a file AttributeValue.csv from your C: drive to
a Lawson UNIX environment, the winptxfr utility could be:
  winptxfr -u attrval c:\\Data\\AttributeValue.csv
  where attrval is the name of your transferred file in the Lawson UNIX
environment.

3.  Load your transferred file into the MXVALREL file, using an import
utility such as importdb.  In the previous example, the syntax would be
    importdb  MXVALREL
    where  is the product line (for example dev8.0) where your
Lawson applications and data are loaded.

4.  Use this form to review and edit the data as needed.

5.  Run Attribute Valid Values Interface (MX160) to load the attribute values
into the LAWSON INSIGHT II Matrix Attribute (MX) application.

**More help
You can delete attribute values in the MXVALREL file; you can also add new
attributes and values to the file, as long as the attribute is already defined
in the Matrix Attribute application.

To list the attribute values in the MXVALREL file, run Attribute Valid Value
Listing (MX260).
