EXPORT_CSV action

Function
Export of a row, column or whole structured local variable (i.e. local variable of Record type) into a CSV file.
Declaration
 EXPORT_CSV toExportStruct, delimiter, fName, bMonoTimes, retCodeIdent_Int[, transPalIdx_Int] [TIME] [UTF8] | ENCODING "@APP_DEFAULT@"] [APPEND]

Parameters
toExportStruct in Row identifier, column identifier or identifier of local variable of Record type.
delimiter in Identifier of Text type - delimiter to be used in the CSV file.
fName in File name with extension.
bMonoTimes in Parameter of Bool type. Method for work with time (monotonic time attribute).
retCodeIdent_Int out Return value of Int type - action success.
transPalIdx in Optional parameter of Int type.
TIME in Key word.
UTF8 in Key word.
ENCODING in Key word which is followed by a name of file encoding in the text format. The list of supported encodings in ESL.
APPEND in Key word.

Description
The action generates a file of CSV format. File name is given by the parameter fName. Item delimiter in the CSV file is specified by the parameter delimiter.
The action success is indicated by the output parameter retCodeIdent_Int. Value of 0 means the successful export, the value other than 0 means the error.

Depending on the parameter toExportStruct, the action exports:
  • entire local variable
  • row of local variable
  • column of local variable

CSV file format
The local variable is saved to the specified CSV file row-by-row (row in a structure presents a row in a CSV file).
Because the CSV file format is not unique defined, the action awaits a delimiter as its second parameter. Delimiter is one character, that is to be used to separate items in the CSV file. Real numbers use the decimal separator '.'.

If the key word 
 TIME
is used, then the CSV file also contains the value time for each item. Time is presented before the item value. CSV file therefore contains the double number of columns.
If the key word UTF8 is used, the action generates a text file with UTF-8 encoding.
If the key word APPEND is used, the action inserts data into CSV file. In case that this file does not exist, it will be created.

Time can be formatted by the mask defined in the transformation palette - the index is given by parameter transPalIdx_Int.
If the parameter is not defined or its value is 0, there is used the mask dd.mm.rrrr hh:mi:ss.
If its value is -1, then values of Absolute time and Real types are to be converted according to the settings specified in the Regional and Language Options of the current user on Windows systems. For different operating systems the value of -1 will be automatically replaced with the value of 0.

The parameter bMonoTimes allows to specify whether daylight-saving changes are accepted or not. If the value of the parameter is @TRUE, all time values are to be recalculated in monotonic time (not in daylight-saving time).

The CSV delimiter (the parameter delimiter) may be obtained by calling the function %GetCSVDelimiter.
Example
Assumes:

The object SD.ArchVal of Structure definition is defined with the columns:

Name Type
Value Real
Flags Integer

There is defined the object SV.ArchVal of Structured variable. The structure type is SD.ArchVal. The number of rows: 3. Start values are:

Value Flags
1.2 3
2 2
3 1

The example does not test the action execution success.


 
RECORD (SD.ArchVal) _rec
REDIM _rec[SV.ArchVal\DIM]
 SET _rec WITH SV.ArchVal
 
 EXPORT_CSV _rec, ';', "c:\rec.csv", @TRUE, _retCode
 EXPORT_CSV _rec[1], ';', "c:\rec1.csv", @TRUE, _retCode
 EXPORT_CSV _rec^Value, ';', "c:\recValue.csv", @TRUE, _retCode

 
The actions exports the local variable _rec, that contains a copy of SV.ArchVal.
Created files:

c:\rec.csv


 
1,20000000000000;3
 2,00000000000000;2
 3,00000000000000;1

 
c:\rec1.csv
 
1,20000000000000;3

 
c:\recValue.csv
 
1,20000000000000
 2,00000000000000
 3,00000000000000
