Extracting to a Delimiter‑Separated Data File

You can extract reports to a delimiter‑separated data file in which the data items are separated by a separator character.

You can select the separator character when you set your report options, by using the Output sheet of the Report Properties dialog.

The Delimiter Separated File Options group box of the Output sheet is shown in the following image, in which the default values are displayed.

You can also specify extraction options for the file. You can include report header and footer data and group header and footer data in the output file. You can combine groups and details and specify that numbers and dates be extracted in their printed form. The Extract group box of the Output sheet is shown in the above image, in which the default values are displayed.

For details about setting the delimiter‑separated file options, see "Using the Output Sheet" under "Setting Report Properties", in Chapter 4.
