DataSheetExport Function

Overview

The DataSheetExport function exports the content of a Data Sheet Object as XML (XML Data Sheet, XDS, format).

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = DataSheetExport ( handle hSheet, string filename | handle hObject, [int format] );

Parameters

hSheet

A handle to a Data Sheet Object.

filename

A string as a fully qualified filename and path for the destination data. Or,

hObject

An object handle to a Basic File or Pool Object. The data will be appended to the object.

format

An optional int specifying the format to write. If not specified and a filename is specified, the extension is used to determine the format. If a destination object is used or the extension is not known, the default is XML (FT_XDS_II).

Return Value

An int as ERROR_NONE (0) or a formatted error code.

Remarks

The formats supported are: FT_ANSI, FT_CSV, FT_HTML and FT_XDS_II. If the format is not known, it will default to FT_XDS_II.

The XML export does not write a schema or XML wrapper for XDS. This is done to facilitate the option of writing multiple sheets into a single output as a workbook.

See the Appendix B — XML Data Sheet Format Specification for additional information. Legacy XDS (Mark I) cannot be exported from a Data Sheet Object.
