Ryan Farley on .NET Development with a focus on CRM Development for SalesLogix

Exporting a DataGrid to a CSV File

Along the same lines as my posts on exporting a SalesLogix DataGrid (well, exporting the Recordset behind the grid) to Excel, Michael Cessna from SalesLogix shared this quick bit of code for dumping a Recordset to a CSV file (posted in the SalesLogix Business Partner newsgroups)

Option Explicit

Const adClipString = 2

' ExportRecordsetToCSV objRS, "C:\Test.csv", True, True
Sub ExportRecordsetToCSV(Recordset, FileName, IncludeFieldNames, MoveFirst)

    Dim objFSO
    Dim objFile
    Dim iFieldCount
    Dim oFields()
    Dim strHeader

    Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(FileName, True)

    If MoveFirst Then
       Recordset.MoveFirst
    End If

    If IncludeFieldNames Then
       Redim oFields(Recordset.Fields.Count)
       For iFieldCount = 0 To Recordset.Fields.Count -1
           oFields(iFieldCount) = Recordset.Fields(iFieldCount).Name
       Next
       strHeader = Join(oFields, Chr(9))
       objFile.WriteLine(strHeader)
    End If

    objFile.Write(Recordset.GetString(adClipString))
    objFile.Close()

    Set objFile = Nothing
    Set objFSO = Nothing

    If MoveFirst Then
       Recordset.MoveFirst
    End If
End Sub

I'm rather new to SLX development but I've noticed that in a lot of vendor code and in a great many samples developers don't type their variables (as with above) - why is that???

Hi Clancy,

Because SLX uses VBScript, not VB. In VBScript you cannot type your variables (You'll get an error if you do).
