Saving data in an external file
While previewing, you can save the data retrieved in an external file. Note that
the data and headers (if specified) are saved. Information in the footer or
summary bands is not saved unless you are saving as PDF or as a PSR file.
❖ To save the data in a report in an external file:
1 Select File>Save Rows As from the menu bar.
The Save As dialog box displays.
2 Choose a format for the file from the Save As Type drop-down list.
If you want the column headers saved in the file, select a file format that
includes headers (such as Excel With Headers). When you select a with
headers format, the names of the database columns (not the column labels)
are also saved in the file.
When you choose a format, InfoMaker supplies the appropriate file
extension.
3 For TEXT, CSV, SQL, HTML, and DIF formats, select an encoding for the
file.
You can select ANSI/DBCS, Unicode LE (Little-Endian), Unicode BE
(Big-Endian), or UTF8.
4 Name the file and click Save.
InfoMaker saves all displayed rows in the file; all columns in the displayed
rows are saved. Filtered rows are not saved.
