These documents show the minimal code in Microsoft Visual Basic to download a file using the following High-Level Data Transfer Automation Objects:

Dim dt As New cwbx.DatabaseTransfer
dt.Download "MYSYSTEM", "QIWS/QCUSTCDT", "C:\MyFile.txt"

For customers who do not have the Microsoft Visual Basic product, the Data Transfer Automation Object can also be used with Microsoft Windows Visual Basic Script. A Text Editor (like Notepad) can be used to produce the code. The code should be saved using extension vbs. In this environment, the code will differ slightly:

Set dt = CreateObject("cwbx.DatabaseTransfer")
dt.Download "MYSYSTEM", "QIWS/QCUSTCDT", "C:\MyFile.txt"
