Mike, what happens when you use "select *" rather than "select all".  The Select * should account for all columns and data.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Using the R:Base 6.5++ Gateway command

Hi All,
I have a situation where I need to incorporate an export process into an application system.
 
I am trying to export a table to a dBase 3 file format.  Unfortunately I can not get the basic command to work.  As an example I have a table named ASLOG.  The table has 7 columns (integer, text and date) and 5 rows of data.
 
When I use the following command at the R> prompt:
 
R> GATEWAY EXPORT DB3 ASLOG.DBF SELECT ALL FROM ASLOG
 
The Import/Export Progress screen comes up with "Initializing ..." displayed and then R:Base freezes.  Task Manager shows R:Base not responding and End Task is the only way out.
 
The syntax seems to be correct but perhaps there is a nuance that I am missing.
 
Any thoughts ....
 
Thanks,
Michael
