Hi,

Im new to using WebFocus App Studio. Im using App Studio 8203.

I was wondering if theres any documentation on how to save a CSV file using App Studio. I used the Unstyled Format >(COMT). I get the message No output was returned Possible causes: - Output was directed to a destination such as a file or printer. I dont get this error and I get the correct data if I use any of the Styled Report Formats.

I thought Id ask this question to the community before I Google the error. Sorry for such a newbie question.

Thanks,

Frank

If you are seeing something like this:

 

the No output means that no output was returned to the browser, its not saying a hold file wasnt created. See where it says

LINES= 4

 

That is indicating that there are four rows in the data hold file it created.

Did you also click the Destination (HOLD) button:

And then specify a location/filename where you want the file too You need to do it in the Name input box:

Then when you run it, the file comtdata.csv is in the baseapp folder.
