Use options from this group to customize the data file generated by the PlanetPress Database action task.
Output file emulation: Select the emulation corresponding to the type of output file you want the
PlanetPress Database action task to generate.
CR-LF replacement: If you want CR-LF (Carriage Return-Line Feed) characters within the data file to be
replaced by another character, use this box to indicate which character to use. You may select the
replacement character from the list or type your own.
Emulation options group
Options from this group change based on the selected output file emulation.
PlanetPress Database Emulation
If you selected PlanetPress Database in the Output file emulation box, the following options are available:
Create data pages as follows: Select the option that will be used to generate the data pages. Each data
page created using the table or query selected above (Table/Query box) can contain a single record, a fixed
number of records, or a variable number of records. To choose the last option, select one of the When [field
name] changes listed in this box.
Sort on conditional field: Select this option if you want the table to be sorted using the field selected in the
Create data pages as follows box before the data page creation process is started.
Maximum number of records per page: For data pages that contain multiple records (a fixed or variable
number of records), enter a maximum number of records per page in this box. Note that this value cannot
exceed 4,000.
CSV Emulation
If you selected CSV in the Output file emulation box, the following options are available:
Sort on field: If you want the table to be sorted before the data page creation process is started, select the
sort field from this box.
Text delimiter: Select the text delimiter to be used in the generated file.
Field separator: Select the field separator to be used in the generated file.
Add a header record with field names: Select this option if you want the generated file to have a header
record (a record that includes the field names only).
Fixed Length Columns Emulation
If you selected Fixed length columns in the Output file emulation box, the following options are available.
Sort on field: If you want the table to be sorted before the data page creation process is started, select the
sort field from this box.
Default width: This box is used to set the default width for all fields. It is set to 60 by default, but can be set
to any value between 1 and 65535. This value is applied to all the fields in the generated file. To set different
widths for each field, use the Configure Width button. Doing this disables the Default width box.
Configure Width: Click to set the width of each field in the generated file. The displayed Configure Width
dialog box lists all the fields in the file that will be generated and indicates their widths. To change the
indicated widths, simply click the values displayed in the Width column and enter new values. Click OK when
you are done to close the dialog box. You will then no longer be able to use the Default width box.
