Since the GSI Data Export Options dialog is not displayed when the program is driven from an automation script, an options string can be specified in the script. The string consists of comma-separated parameters, which specify the behavior of the various export options. A typical example would be:
" Delimiter=comma; TextQualifier=singlequote "
This would set the delimiter character to a comma and the text qualifier character to the single-quote mark ( ' ).
