Text Export Inclusions

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Fields included with Delimited Text Export

All Character/String fields (whatever defined as VarChar, Char or Character)

All Numeric fields (SmallInt, Integer as well as Float/Decimals fields)

All AutoInc (Autoincrement) fields - exported as Integer data

All Currency/Money fields

All Date, Time and TimeStamp/DateTime fields

All Boolean/Logical fields

All Bytes fields - exported as hexadecimal values

All Memo and FmtMemo (FormattedMemo) text fields
As Memo/FmtMemo fields often includes multiple lines and line breaks, and as the record separations of the exported delimited text files are line breaks them selves, the within text line breaks are converted into literal '<br>' to avoid interference with the record delimiting line breaks.

See also Export Specifications, general .

Limitations of the Delimited text export feature

Except for the mentioned Memo/FmtMemo fields, none of the binary (BLOB) data are included with Delimited Text Export, as binary data is not universally compatible with text representation (though numerous standards do exist for binary data encoded conversion).

However binary data (BLOB fields) may be imported as well as exported on a field level by double clicking the selected field in the data display grid using the opened dialog.
Please see Binary import/export.
