Exporting Data in Non-Progress Format
By default, Results puts export data in the Progress format. These are the non-Progress export formats that are supplied with Results:
Your database administrator can also define and add a custom export format. Follow these steps to put a report in any one of these export formats.
- Define the report you want to export.
- Select the Settings option.
The list of export formats appears. Note that the User-Sample Export option appears by default when you start Results with a copy of the Progress sports database. When you start with another database, this option appears if your database administrator enabled it for you.
- Select a format. (If you select one of the ASCII formats, skip Step 3 in the "Exporting Data in ASCII Format" section in this chapter.)
The export type appears in the Data Export Layout window. You might see a screen similar to this one if you selected the WordStar export type:
![]()
- Run the data export report. Your report appears in the new export format.
The Settings option gives you as much flexibility as possible in defining an export format. You can also edit any ASCII export format, as described in the "Using Expert Mode to Change ASCII Settings" section in this chapter.
