Describing General Information Section Fields and Buttons
This section describes the fields and buttons included in the General
Information section.
Description Enables you to enter comments (optional) about a
definition file.
Landscapes Enables you to select the landscape(s) from which
you want to export data.
Output Format Enables you to specify the format for the exported
data. (Other options on the window change in
response to the format you select.)
Format Options This button is available only after you have
selected ASCII with the Output Format button.
It enables you to access the Format Options dialog
box, where you select the format options for the
ASCII output file (see Chapter 3 for details). These
options include field separators, record separators,
quoted strings, data and schema file options, time
format, and handle format.
Output Directory Enables you to access the Output Directory dialog
box. The Output Directory contains the name of
the directory where the exported data is stored.
(For SQL formats, it is the log directory where the
log file and temporary files created by Data Export
are stored.)
Post Export Script Enables you to access a file selection dialog box.
The file you select is invoked following the
successful completion of the export. For example,
you can specify a script to import the data into
either a spreadsheet, database, or a statistical
analysis application.
(On the NT platform, the file you specify must be a
script file; on all other platforms, this file can be
either a script file or a compiled executable file.)
Database Name This field is available only after you have selected
an SQL data format with the Output Format
button. It enables you to specify a name for the
database where you want to store SQL data. You
can accept the default name (spectrum) or
provide another name for the current file by
overwriting or modifying the default name.
