[RBASE-L] - RE: Editing data

[Dawn Oakes]

Gerrit You can edit data using a view only if it is a single table view with no group by clause.   I don't believe you can append data to an Excel file using Gateway.  You can append to an ascii file with plain old output- might be a workaround depending on what you're trying to accomplish.   output filename.txt append unload data for tablename as ascii (or unload data for tablename as csv) output screen   Alternately, you can use ODBC to pull data from RBase into an Excel file, rather than pushing data out.  The 7.5 ODBC driver is MUCH improved over 6.5++.  Like I said, it depends on what you're ultimately trying to accomplish.    Hope it helps.
