Exporting the Data

The Export feature allows you to save the data in your list to disk in many different file formats.  The Export Setup window supports the scope radio buttons so you can export specific sets of data.  This feature also supports expression building, which will allow you to combine fields or separate the components of a field.  Field widths can be adjusted, and the type of the field can be modified as well.

 

Follow the steps below to Export data from an AccuZIP6 Database.

The Export Setup window will appear.

For assistance on writing Expressions, contact AccuZIP6 Technical Support.  See Technical Support Options for more information.

 

For information on scope radio buttons, see Consistent Window Formats.

 

The Include Header Record check box will not be available for file types that already contain a header record by default.

 

Saving the Export Map:

 

Once you have set up an Export Map, you can save the mapping to use again when you want to export data with the same output fields by following the steps below:

In the Save As dialog box, the file name will appear under Save Map As.  The file name will have a .emp extension.  By default, the map will save using the file name that you are exporting.  However, if you would like to use a different name for your map, highlight the file name and change it.

 

Do not browse to a new location - the Field Maps folder will be selected automatically.   

 

Notice that your Export Map has been saved so that you can select it in the future from the Export Map pull-down menu.
