EXPORT

This Run Control Parameter causes one or more data exports to be done whenever the Export step is run.

The possible export requests are :

  • EXPORT=REFLECT,

  • EXPORT=CL,

  • EXPORT=SSS,

  • EXPORT=SPSS,

  • EXPORT=SAS,

  • EXPORT=QUANTUM,

  • EXPORT=TSXE,

  • EXPORT=CSV,

More than one export request is allowed separated by a semicolon.

A DTV can be specified with each export.

The default names for all exports are the name of the set-up file followed by the type of export. For example "My run" STP file exported to Reflect will produce "My run Reflect" files. The full list of added export type name extensions is

  • Reflect

  • CL

  • SSS

  • TSXE

  • SPSS

  • SAS

  • Quantum

  • CSV

  • Fixed

  • Fixed80

If the EXPORT RCP is used then no questions will be asked as the export(s) take place during the export phase, but please note :

  • The name of the export files is fixed. see above.

  • If a DTV file is requested it will not be used to set data locations, it will be "Use for entry order and sizes".

  • The other options are not available :

    • Spreadfield for multi-coded

    • One column for multi-coded

    • Max sizes for numbers

Other export options can be requested by using [Data] [Export data].

Examples:

export=reflect;spss,

export=spss(dtv='for spss.dtv'),

export=spss(dtv='spss.dtv');quantum(dtv='quant.dtv'),
