export.dos command returns Object code not found
The copy command under OSFI will translate attribute marks into carriage
returns, but unfortunately will not concatenate items for you.
However, the following may be of some use in a general sense. Replace
the filenames and delimiters as appropriate.
open pickfile to f1 else stop 201,pickfile
open "c:/dosfolder" to f2 else stop 201,"no such dos folder
exists"
select f1
output = ""
loop
readnext id else exit
read rec from f1,id then
output<-1> = rec
end
repeat
write output on f2,outputID
Of course, this will take a while if you're exporting a ton of data, but
this is pretty much what the old EXPORT program did. It just had a lot
of stuff about finding the FAT on the floppy and all that. Export was
never intended to copy data to your hard drives. OSFI is.
That concatenate option might be a good enhancement though...
