Extract a Table

You can use this command to print a list of the fields for a selected iProcess table, optionally including the data associated with those fields. You can also choose to export the fields to a file.

You can either select this utility from the swutil menu (see Using swutil), or use the following command:

swutilEXTTAB 

The utility prompts you for the name of the table to print a list of fields for, optionally including the data associated with those fields.

The following example illustrates the output if you elect to disregard the table data or if no data is present in the table.

Table structures 

Table: SOFTWARE (Dataspace 30 bytes) 

Field name	Type	Length	DP 

SITEM 	Text	18 
SPRICE	Numeric	8	0 

This example illustrates the output with data.

Table structures and data 

Table: HARDWARE (Dataspace 30 bytes) 

Field name	Type	Length	DP	Data 

HITEM	Text	18	Tiny machine 
HPRICE	Numeric	8	0	995 

HITEM	Text	18	Medium machine 
HPRICE	Numeric	8	0	1995 

HITEM	Text	18	Large machine 
HPRICE	Numeric	8	0	5995 

The Dataspace bytes indicates the total amount of space that will be allocated to any one case to hold data from the selected table.

The Length of a field indicates the maximum length of that field; the table data for that field may not exceed this amount.
