You can use the SELECT INTO statement to export formatted data to a file.

Data Export with an SQL Query

The following query exports data into a file formatted in comma-separated values (CSV):

SELECT DocEntry, DocType INTO [csv://Orders.txt] FROM [Orders] WHERE DocType = 'dDocument_Items'

You can specify other formats in the file URI. The possible delimiters are tab, semicolon, and comma with the default being a comma. The following example exports tab-separated values:

SELECT DocEntry, DocType INTO [csv://Orders.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Orders] WHERE DocType = 'dDocument_Items'

C#

String connectionString = "Url=http://localhost:50000/b1s/v1;User=username;Password=password;CompanyDB=dbname;";

using (SAPBusinessOneConnection connection = new SAPBusinessOneConnection(connectionString)) {
  SAPBusinessOneCommand cmd = new SAPBusinessOneCommand("SELECT DocEntry, DocType INTO [csv://Orders.txt] FROM [Orders] WHERE DocType = 'dDocument_Items' ", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "Url=http://localhost:50000/b1s/v1;User=username;Password=password;CompanyDB=dbname;" 

Using connection As New SAPBusinessOneConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New SAPBusinessOneCommand("SELECT DocEntry, DocType INTO [csv://Orders.txt] FROM [Orders] WHERE DocType = 'dDocument_Items'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using

You can specify other file formats in the URI. The following example exports tab-separated values:

C#

String connectionString = "Url=http://localhost:50000/b1s/v1;User=username;Password=password;CompanyDB=dbname;";

using (SAPBusinessOneConnection connection = new SAPBusinessOneConnection(connectionString)) {
  SAPBusinessOneCommand cmd = new SAPBusinessOneCommand("SELECT * INTO [Orders] IN [csv://filename=c:/Orders.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Orders] WHERE DocType = 'dDocument_Items'", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "Url=http://localhost:50000/b1s/v1;User=username;Password=password;CompanyDB=dbname;" 

Using connection As New SAPBusinessOneConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New SAPBusinessOneCommand("SELECT * INTO [Orders] IN [csv://filename=c:/Orders.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Orders] WHERE DocType = 'dDocument_Items'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
