You have the possibility of choosing conversion to a save-file only or both a save-file and a PC-file. The suffix you enter is a way for you to separate the distribution from other already created distributions. After you have entered the details for a particular distribution, a save file will be created in the APFEXPORT library and optionally, a PC-file will be added to the APF3812 folder.

You can now locate the export PC-file in the APF3812 folder with file name “export.xxx”., This file can be send by e-mail, to your consultant or to another InterForm400® site..

G NOTE G

It is possible to operate with more than one export/import library at a time. Refer to Appendix P on page 477 for more information.
