5) When asked for Formfeed delimited you must type the complete path to the files VPE_12_Rtns.MGR and when asked for output directory you must give the complete path to your vista routines directory.

6)You must repeat the above steps for file VPE_12_Rtns.PRD. Once both files are loaded you must execute D ^ZVEMBLD

7)Press enter until you get back into GTM>
