Export Clarion .DAT files to ASCII comma delimited files

Mike Harne #1 / 3	Export Clarion .DAT files to ASCII comma delimited files I need to export the Clarion .DAT data to ascii comma delimited files. I am using the Claron Developers kit standard edition for windows version 2.0. The documentation dosn't cover this subject and Tech support at Top Speed demands serious cash for answers by phone. I haven't used Clarion before so a simple step by step procedure would be appreciated. Thanks Mike Harney Guardall SMC Toronto, Canada.

Create the Ascii files that you wish to export to in your data dictionary, for comma delimited files you should use the Basic file driver. Then in your app, for each export process that you wish to run, create a Process type procedure. In the embed: Activity for each Record, put your variable assignment code, ie ASC:Variable = CLA:DataVariable etc.. at the end of the assignments save the new Ascii file Record. ADD(NewAsciiFile) That should about do it. If you want to create procedures where your enduser gets to choose what field assignments get made and what files to import, look at the Impex templates from Steve Mcloughlin of Sterling compuserve.

Create the Ascii files that you >wish to export to in your data dictionary, for comma delimited files you >should use the Basic file driver. Then in your app, for each export I can't help but finding this a little bit misleading, as even though csv files are pure ascii files, they are basic files, not ascii files in the terms of cw file drivers. They can be created with the basic driver directly or indirectly with the ascii driver by adding "" around the field values and append a comma. For CSV (Comma Separated Values) files, use the basic driver.
