Another unsupported way (ie - not approved by Formal Soft) is to add this info to the appropiate FOW database file. This is done by opening the "p" database and and copying the list of record numbers using a relational database program such as FoxPro. This list is then used to build the appropiate fact template and make one for each record number, and adding these records to the fact database. To build the fact template, add the fact to only the first individual in your database and examine the results. I use a simple BASIC program to read the list from the above step and create each record according to the template. Typical time to do this is less than 30 minutes. WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMER Do not attempt to do this on an unprotected database. Always use a copy of your data. Do not attempt this unless you know how to use your relational database program. Do not attempt this unless you can write and test the program creating your input file.
