Archive, Compare, Extract, and Control Files are stored
in a proprietary format; they are not readable when opened with a
text editor. However, you can use the Browse dialog
to open a file, and then save it as an output file.
Choose to save the file in text (.txt)
format or comma separated (.csv) format. You can save the information
from one table, or several tables, each in a separate file. The file,
once generated, can be opened in a text editor or imported into another
application, such as a spreadsheet or database application. (Comma
separated format is especially useful for importing into other applications.)
Note: - LOB columns are not included in an output file,
in either format.
- Additionally, you can use the Convert Request Editor
to save joined table information in comma-separated format. For more
information refer to the Move
User Manual.
To save a file as an output file:
- In the Browse dialog,
select the table(s) you want to save.
- Select Save as Output File from
the File menu of the Browse dialog
to open the Windows Save
As dialog.
- Assign a file name, choose a format and save
the file for each selected table.
The next example is a portion of a text document version
of a Control File. If you select more than one table to include in
the text document, the information for each table is separated by
a header.
