Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Query/Results for UNIX

> ## Data Export features

> The tour of Results in Chapter 3, "A Tour Through Results," gives you basic information for exporting data using the Data Export module. For example, it describes how to export a report in alternative format and describes how to delete a `WHERE` clause. This chapter describes more features and options in the Data Export module.

> Note that most of the Define submenu options in this module are the same as they are in the Reports module. However, there are two differences:

> - Where you use the Reports module to define Totals and Subtotals, you use a Data Export submenu option to change the width and format of fields in fixed-width ASCII export definition. This option lets you change the width and format of any field or defined column in the current Data Export Layout window. You can select this option only when the Export Type is set to fixed-width ASCII (SDF).

> - When you define new fields, you can redefine the format only for the new fields. (In the Reports module, you can also redefine the label and specify whether you want Results to hide its repeating values.)
