File Type

The file type must be one of the CA 2E valid file types. Depending on how it is intended to be used, a file can have a type of capture (CPT), reference (REF), or structure (STR).

Capture and reference files are database files; structure files are non-database files. Whether a file is capture or reference depends on the role of the fields that make up that file.

See the chapter "Understanding Your Data Model" for more information on using file types.
