Tab format (*TAB)
DIF format (*DIF)
TAB format is the same as BASIC Sequential, except that tab characters, rather than commas, separate the fields. Data in a *TAB format looks similar to that shown below:
Table
9.00“LOlll” ”10119” “BLACK” ”DOG”9.00 ”890101”
9.00“LO118” “10119” “RED” ”DOG” 8.00 “890301”
9.00“LO118” “10221” “BLACK” “BIRD” 6.00 “890401”
9.00“LO118” “lO222” ”BLUE” ”CAT” 6.00 “890201”
8.00“LO118” “10222” ”BLACK” ”HORSE” 7.0 “890202”
8.00“LO118” “10224” “GREEN” “FISH” 7.0 “890202”
DIF format is a standard method of storing PC files created using a spreadsheet program. The DIF format is based on vectors and tuples (fields and records). Data in a *DIF file looks similar to that shown below:
Table
TABLE
0,1
“.”
VECTORS
0,0006
“.”
TUPLES
0,000000012
“.”
DATA0,0
“.”
NOTE: Most micro applications provide utilities that allow the data to be imported to or exported from *BASICS, *TAB, *DIF, or
*TEXT. Check the documentation supplied with your PC software for more information about translating data to one of these formats.
