Appendix B - Import/Export Specs:
Import/Export Specifications for Fixed-Width Text files
An Access Export Specification defines the layout used
to import and export fixed-width text files from Access.
Since the Automatic Email system exports comma delimited
and fixed-width text files for uploading to the Host EMC2
system, this specification must be present prior to successfully
exporting fixed-width text files. No export specification
is required for comma-delimited text files. The Email.MDB
database file contains the details for the three Export
Specifications below. The Import/Export Setup that provides
the process to configure the specifications can be activated
by:
Select the Database Container
Select "File", then "Imp/Exp Setup"
The Import/Export Specs defined below are specifically
referenced by the internal programming of Email-Access.
If one is missing and you attempt to use that output width,
an error will be reported and the export will fail. For
your ready reference, the specific Export Specification
settings for fixed-width text files are defined below.
The are all basically the same specification with the
exception of the Width of the first and only field referenced.
File Type = Windows (ANSI) for all specs below.
All other settings other than the ones outlined below
are ignored by the import process. The displayed defaults
are fine.
Specification Name - Email Export 78
Field Name = Data, Data Type = Text, Start = 1, Width
= 78
Specification Name - Email Export 130
Field Name = Data, Data Type = Text, Start = 1, Width
= 130
Specification Name - Email Export 255
Field Name = Data, Data Type = Text, Start = 1, Width
= 255 |
