Hi Marten, I extract tables from Adabas-D (13.0) with the following syntax:
dataextract * from <tablename>; id 01-11 field1 12-27 field2 28-30 field3 31-285 outfile <filename> DEC '//./' DATE 'YYYY-MM-DD' TIMESTAMP 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' There are no problems with fixed columns. Alternative: dataextract * from <tablename>; outfile <filename> DEC '//./' DATE 'YYYY-MM-DD' TIMESTAMP 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' compress (fields are encased with apostrophes) Greetings Uli ____________________________________________________ Ulrich Lickert, Universitaetsklinikum Freiburg Klinikrechenzentrum, Agnesenstr. 6-8, D-79106 Freiburg Tel +49-761-270-2265 Fax +49-761-270-2066 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.uniklinik-freiburg.de/ Marten Feldtmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb am 05.02.2006 21:48:54: > I have an old Adabas-D database and I try to export and import > the database to another database. > > Now I used the ASCII export function > > DATAEXTRACT * from table > > but the results are somewhat strange.
