Recently I have been trying to backup some tables, as I have done for years.
For some reason I can not use the file extention ".bup" The backup works
fine with any extension I choose except ".bup". When I use the extension
".bup" the backup will occur with the appropriate file name except with no
file extension. I am assuming I toggled something off but can't figure what
or where. I am using Rbase 9.1. What am I missing?
Angelo,
Without knowing all details, database settings, etc., let's see what you get
when using the following example, using RRBYW17 or RRBYW18 sample database.
-- Example
DISCONNECT
CONNECT RRBYW18
SET VAR vCVALNull TEXT = (CVAL('NULL'))
SET VAR vBackupFileName TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vBackupFileName = +
((CVAL('DATABASE'))+'_'+(FORMAT(.#NOW,'MMDDYYYY_HHNN'))+'.BUP')
OUTPUT .vBackupFileName
UNLOAD ALL
OUTPUT SCREEN
SET NULL .vCVALNull
RETURN
Then, check the folder with RRBYW18 database folder for two files, such as:
RRBYW18_03212013_1629.BUP
RRBYW18_03212013_1629.LOB
In your case, the date and time stamp will vary.
Also, make sure to correct the database "QUOTE" settings accordingly.
Hope that provides you with some blue's clues ...
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
