5.5 Export

Choose Export under the Process menu. The purpose of this function varies depending upon when it is accessed. If accessed when a report is being displayed on the screen, an ascii file of the report will be created. If accessed when no report is active on the screen, its purpose is to create a data file which will subsequently be imported into another program. For example, data may be exported for use in a spread sheet program.
