ERALink Download
Access to this screen will allow reports created in 6910 to be downloaded by the ERALink software to the host PC in one of two formats:
Comma separated format
In the comma separated format, ERALink attempts to place delimiters in the appropriate locations for all fields, but often fails; leaving the user to define placement manually, by clicking and dragging columns.
Vertical format
A proprietary vertical format can be chosen when creating or modifying a report by selecting yes when asked to enter a special format, and yes again for option five. The vertical format displays selected fields and their values, each on a new line, with a set number of new lines between records. There tends to be inconsistencies between Reynolds versions.
