[RBASE-L] - Re: Export of ASCII Fixed file of table data

[BKarmel]

Troy, thanks for the help and advice. I currently use GATEWAY with no trouble to unload fixed field formated data.   Over the past few days I have been able to successfully convert all of our 4.5++ RBASE for DOS databases. After resaving all of the forms and reports, I was able to successfully  (so far at least) to  run all of the applications that had been writen by using the RBwin 6.5 version. Trying to convert these applications in the RB6.5 for DOS first before shifting to the Windows version was a mistake. Going directly to RB6.5win was so easy. All of the .cmd files appear to be understood by  RB65win with no problems. The RBASE development team should be congratulated for making things this easy!!! I will now begin the process of getting all of my users to convert to the 6.5 ++ Windows version while I download and try RBwin 7.0 beta. Thought the process was going to be very painful, but so far it has been a breeze. Looking forward to working with the more powerful Windows version and the upgrade to 7.0 bernie Troy Sosamon wrote: Bernie, Personally, I would upgrade to 6.5++ for DOS first and then convert to the Windows platform. That way you are not having to make 2 conversions at once. The upgrade to 6.5++ DOS will be pritty easy. As far as importing and exporting fixed field files, there should be no problem doing this. Take a look at the load command to import your files, and to export them, you can use unload, gateway, or select to get a fixed field file. How are you doing it now?

This might be trivial, but I do not see that I can import or export an ASCII fixed file as I am able to do in the DOS 6.5 version. I have a great number of applications that expect a .FIX file structure as input. Is there any way I can use the Windows version for ASCII fixed files? bernie karmel
