Definition
This parameter determines the format of the file into which the report is to be exported. The parameter is only effective if you export to the presentation server in tabular format (output medium = '2', output format '1').
The following formats are supported:
- ASC - ASCII (text format)
- BIN - Binary format
- WK1 - Spreadsheet format
- DAT - Data table ASCII with column tab
When exporting to spreadsheet programs (for example, Microsoft Excel), you should use the 'DAT' format for optimal results.
