You can use Finalist Workbench to create the Definition File (.def) required for processing with the driver. The Definition File defines the layout of the input file to be processed by the driver program. The Definition File contains keywords that specify the location and length of the input fields that the driver program will pass to Finalist. For information on the Definition file keywords, refer to Definition File. To create a Definition File:

  1. From the File menu, select New. The New Definition File dialog box displays.
  2. Select def on the New Definition File dialog box. The Definition File Setup dialog box displays. Use this dialog box to define your input and output fields.
