Hi all,
Im using a batch application to download a csdb file using the syncdata.
For example,
syncdata(GET, test_data_dict, "01001");
then ill set the external data(test_data_dict)=01001.csdb.
How can i automate this process? and for example i want to download multple province(1file=1province) in a single run?
01001
01002
01003
01004
Thanks

Additional question: What does it mean when I'm downloading and suddenly close the batch application? My indicator of a successful download is when the .lst file appears, but in my case, the batch file closed and the .lst file didn’t appear.

If you're downloading from CSWeb, you can do something like:
List string provinces = "01001", "01002", "01003", "01004";
syncconnect(CSWeb, "....");
do numeric ctr = 1 while ctr <= provinces.length()
setfile(DICT_NAME, provinces(ctr) + ".csdb", append);
syncdata(GET, DICT_NAME, provinces(ctr));
close(DICT_NAME);
enddo;
If you're downloading data from Dropbox / FTP, the universe is ignored during the download and only applied once all data has been downloaded. (This is because Dropbox / FTP don't have "intelligence" to give only cases with a certain universe.) If you're doing this, your best option would be to download all the data from the server and then split it afterwards, using an approach like this:
