EXPORT Function (BLOB)

Exports a binary large object (BLOB).


[ExportName] := Blob.EXPORT([Name [, CommonDialog]])

Parameters

Blob

Type: Variable

The BLOB that you want to export.

Name

Type: Text or code

The path and name of the BLOB that you want to export.

When you enter the path, keep in mind these shortcuts:

  • You can omit the drive letter if the command is located on the current drive.

  • You can omit the full path if the command is located in the current directory.

  • You can enter only the subdirectory name if the command is located in a subdirectory of the current directory.

CommonDialog

Type: Boolean

Specifies whether you want to display a dialog box before the BLOB is exported. This dialog box lets you select the file you want to export. Based on the SubType Property property, only the appropriate file types are listed, such as bitmap files (*.bmp), memo files (*.txt), or all files (*.*).

If the CommonDialog parameter is true, the system will display the confirmation dialog box. If the CommonDialog parameter is false (default), the system will not display the confirmation dialog box.

Type: text

The name and path of the file the system imported.

If the return value is the file's name and path, the BLOB was exported

If the return value is blank, the BLOB was not exported.

This function is not supported in the RoleTailored client.
