Re: [U2] Creating a comma seperated flat file in UniData.

Yes -- a way to get them there.  As UniData is running on the server, 
you have to take things from its perspective.  If you have shared drives 
on the server and write the data to them, then the client PCs can access 
the files. UD can't see your local drive, though, unless you map them 
from the server.

You mentioned SB, however, and that has methods for sending data to a 
user's local hard drive, such as:

  DEST = "c:\TEST.TXT"
  RTN  = "The data you want to send"
  TITLE = "Download message box title"
  ERR = ""
  CALL TU.DOWNLOAD(RTN, DEST, "HO", TITLE, ERR)
  BEGIN CASE
    CASE ERR = 1
      ERR = "User aborted transfer"
    CASE ERR = 2
      ERR = "Unable to open file on PC"
    CASE ERR = 3
      ERR = "Unable to read file on PC"
    CASE ERR = 4
      ERR = "Communication error during transfer"
    CASE ERR = 5
      ERR = "Too many errors in transfer"
    CASE ERR = 6
      ERR = "Unable to write file on PC"
    CASE ERR = 7
      ERR = "File transfer not permitted"
    CASE ERR = 10
      ERR = "Unknown error"
    CASE ERR = 11
      ERR = "File already exists"
    CASE 1
      ERR = ""
  END CASE

Subject: [U2] Creating a comma seperated flat file in UniData.

OS: Windows 2K
U2: UniData 6.0.6
System Builder 5.2.4
 
I'm suffering a senior moment.  I need to output a comma separated file
to disk for importation into a 3rd party application.  System Builder is
too cumbersome (from what I can see) and want to do it in UniBasic.
However, I have forgotten how to the command(s) to create a new flat
file in an existing folder.  So some examples would be helpful.
