automating

In BO 4.1, I can use scripting to automate certain functions. However, I don’t seem to be able to come up with a way to include a Save As to text or Export to text in the script. The SaveAsText doesn’t seem to work and SaveAs doesn’t include another file format other than .rep (from within the script language.)

Any ideas? Thanks.

Jeffrey,

There is a method in the BusObj object class for the BODataProvider class called ConverTo. You could use this to export to ASCII, excel, etc. for the Data Provider data. This may be your answer. If you have the Developers Guide, it is on page 80.

Hope this helps!

Jeffrey,
We had the same problem when trying to save as .rtf While at the conference we asked several people about it but never came up with a solution. Good Luck
