To specify an output file for contact logging

In a flowchart in Edit mode, from the process configuration dialog, select File from the Export To or Log To drop-down list. The File option usually appears at the bottom of the list, following the list of mapped tables.

The Specify Output File window appears.

Select the type of file to which you want to write:

Flat file with data dictionary to create a new fixed-width file and new data dictionary file.

Flat file based on existing data dictionary to create a new fixed-width file and select an existing data dictionary file.

Delimited file to create a new file in which field values are delimited by a tab, comma, or other character.

If you selected Delimited file:

Select the Tab, Comma, or Other option. If you selected Other, enter the character to use as the delimiter in the Other field.

Check Include Labels in Top Row if you want the first row of the file to contain labels for each column of data.

Enter the complete path and name of the file in the File Name field. You can also click Browse to navigate to a directory and select an existing file.

You can use user variables in the output file name. For example, if you specify MyFile<UserVar.a>.txt as the file name, and the value of the user variable "a" is "ABC" at the time that the process is run, the output is written to a file named MyFileABC.txt. Be aware that you must set the Initial Value and the Current Value of the user variable before executing the flowchart.

Campaign automatically fills in the Data Dictionary field with a .dct file with the same name and in the same location as the file you entered.

If you want to use a different data dictionary, or to rename the data dictionary, enter the complete path and name of the data dictionary file in the Data Dictionary field.

Click OK.

The Specify Output File window closes. You are returned to the process configuration dialog, and the Export/Log to field displays the path and file name you entered.
