Framework EDI Reference. Methods and Properties
ediDocument. Save

Saves the EDI document to an external file.

Syntax:

• <lretval> = object.Save([<sExtFileName>], [<Output Type>])

Parameters:

• sExtFileName – Optional.  Full path and file name of the external file where the document is saved. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten. If the file does not exist, a new file with the name will be created at the path specified.  If the external file name is not specified then the document will be saved to the same file that was loaded.
• Output Type – Optional.  Specifies the output type.  The output types available are in Output Type ID Constants.

Returns

Returns 1 if the operation is successful; otherwise the operation returns zero.

Remarks

The Save() method can be called multiple times to save the document into multiple files.  However, if the forward-write cursor type is enabled, and if the document has been modified, the document has to be re-loaded or re-created before the changes in the file can be saved.  But, in dynamic cursor type, the document can be modified without having to re-load or re-create the document to save the changes.

Example

Dim oEdiDoc As Fredi.ediDocument
Set oEdiDoc = New Fredi.ediDocument
:
oEdiDoc.Save sEdiFile
