Two new command tails are available with the unload program:
-csv This option causes UNLOAD to dump data in a different format from usual. It uses a format which the Micorosoft Internet Explorer Tabular Data Control can understand. You could use data in this format to indirectly access data from DP4 databases via web pages. The TDC is also supposed to work with ODBC data sources, which would allow you to access DP4 databases directly. However we have not been able to get this to work with any database, including DP4. If anyone has successfully managed to do this, we would be interested to hear about it.
-append By default UNLOAD overwrites any existing file of the same name. The -append option has been added because a user wished to be able to concatenate the output from several runs of UNLOAD.
Beta software is supplied without warranty and should not be used in live sites without the agreement of Itim Technology Solutions. Compatibility with an eventual final release cannot be guaranteed.
Please post unload.5xx or unload.6xx as appropriate to your system database with MAPPOST to update the -help information.
