Oma,
I think you need to do
OUTPUT filename
WRITE .vdocument
OUTPUT SCREEN

Ok,
I can put the file into a table in database no problem!
But I'm drawing a blank on how to export it back out!
SELECT docfilename INTO vdocfilename INDICATOR idocfilename FROM documents
WHERE docno = .vchoice1
SET VAR vdocument = docimage IN documents WHERE (docno = .vchoice1)
--write document to folder
WRITE .vdoucment TO .vdocfilename
LAUNCH .vdocfilename
This works in 6.5
But in 8.0 the "TO" is not part of the Write command!
I get "-ERROR- Syntax is incorrect for the command WRITE (2045)".
What method do you use to export the var to a file?
Any suggestion welcomed!
Best Regards,
