Control Files

Control files store data file formatting information.

To save the current Import/Export window settings to a control file:

  1. Choose the Advanced tab in the Import/Export window.
  2. Click Save in the Control File box.
  3. Use the file browser to name and situate the file.

To retrieve settings from a control file:

  1. Choose the Advanced tab in the Import/Export window.
  2. Click Open in the Control File box.
  3. Use the file browser to find and open the control file.

NOTE: Use Cview, not a text editor, to create and alter control files. Control file formats may change from release to release. Cloudscape supports creating and changing control files only if performed using Cview.
