2.7 Export

Writes one or more of the current entries to an external file. The radio buttons allow you to select one of the following export options:

All entries: export all entries regardless of status

This entry: write the current entry only

Correct entries: export error-free (green) entries only

Erroneous entries: export erroneous (red) entries only

Range: writes the entries specified by number in the From and To: boxes. To alter the export range click in the boxes and retype the numbers.

There are currently three types of output file format available. These can be changed by clicking on the desired button. Full format descriptions are given in Section 4.

ASER: CSD database format (your private database)

BCCAB: CCDC internal format

FSER: A sequential ASCII version of the ASER file.

Selecting SAVE invokes a pop-up window with your current directory details listed. Select a file to save as, or type in a new name.

Which format to use?

If you have problem entries that are not yet ready for writing to the database, use the BCCAB format. This exports a plain text file which you can return to at a later date and proceed with PreQuest (e.g. problem1.bcc)
