export from command line to dBaseIV?

- Start date
Try first:
[tt]copy to MyDbase type foxplus[/tt]
I think dBaseIV should be able to read that, although if there are memo fields it might be dicey. [sig]<p>Robert Bradley<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= - Visual FoxPro Development</a><br> [/sig]

If the database has a memo field in it, do not forget:
SET COMPATIBLE FOXPLUS | OFF | DB4 | ON [PROMPT | NOPROMPT]
Controls compatibility with Microsoft FoxBASE+ and other Xbase languages.
Arguments
FOXPLUS | OFF
(Default) These two keywords can be used interchangeably. Each allows programs created in FoxBASE+ to run in Microsoft Visual FoxPro without changes.
DB4 | ON
These two keywords can be used interchangeably. Including either keyword affects the behavior of the commands and functions listed below.
PROMPT | NOPROMPT
These options determine whether Visual FoxPro displays a dialog box when you open a dBASE table containing a memo field.
Include the PROMPT option to display the Convert Memos dialog box. If you open a dBASE table containing a memo field, Visual FoxPro by default displays the Convert Memos dialog box, which enables you to convert the dBASE memo file to a Visual FoxPro format. You must convert the memo file to a Visual FoxPro format to open the table in Visual FoxPro. You can later convert the memo file to a dBASE format by including the TYPE FOXPLUS option in the COPY command.
If you include NOPROMPT, the Convert Memos dialog box is not displayed when you open a dBASE table containing a memo field. The dBASE memo file is automatically converted to a Visual FoxPro format.
