Purpose With AppendFile you can append a new record to a file, e.g. in order to fill a table with SAP ERP data for later use in Excel.

It is also possible to specify a second file. This file is copied to the first one, and all GuiXT variables in each line are replaced with their current values.
Example

 AppendFile "X:\GuiXTFiles\MatDes.txt" s_matnr s_text s_unit s_price

The value of the variables &[s_matnr] &[s_text] &[s_unit] &[s_price] is concatenated to a single record. The values are separated by the delimiter specified in the OpenFile command (Delimiter=, default delimiter is the tab).

Looking at the example, assume that &[s_matnr]= 10000120 &[s_text]= Screw &[s_unit]= ST &[s_price]= 0.02 and that the delimiter is ';'. The new file record is

1000001;20;Screw;ST;0.02
Format AppendFile "filename" var1 var2 var3 ...

Up to 60 variables are possible.

AppendFile "filename" template="templatefile"

The template file is copied and all GuiXT variables &[...] are replaced with their current values.
