Overview
The stExporter is designed to export SDR data generically into any application format as defined in a data export Format file (.FMT) placed in the formats directory (the location of which is specified at installation time).
The format file is a text file using specific keywords understood by the stExporter for a specific application format. The format file contains the formatting requirements based on 'C' language print directives. A set of format file keywords is supported by the stExporter; thus, a format file can be prepared for any application format for which suitable stExporter keywords are provided to prepare the application format requirements.
Note: Since the keywords are used in conjunction to the 'C' language print directives, numerous formatting possibilities can be achieved.
Format File Keywords
The various export language keywords are divided into various categories:
Constructs -- used to form loops based on grouping and the SDR item and time attributes
SDR variables formats -- these are the various informational items that are present in an SDR and thus may be placed in the ASCII export file
