GOAL:
Can I extract my Windows 32-bit database data to an ASCII text file w/o using 4GL?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows 32 Intel
Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows 2000
FIX:
Progress provides two ways to extract the data from a Progress (Win32) database in ASCII format. On the Win32 operating platform you can use the Progress Data Administration utility to perform these operations.
1) The most common method is to dump each table's data to a series of data files
using the "Admin>Dump Data and Definitions>Table Contents(.d file)" menu
option.
2) You can also dump the data from a series of tables to a single ASCII text file
using the "Admin>Export Data>Text" menu option from the Progress Data
Administration utility.
These options can be further explored by reviewing chapter 10 "Admin Menu Reference" of the "Progress Basic Database Tools" manual.
