The program is now asking us whether we wish to run in  READ ONLY  mode, or

READ / WRITE mode.  Some operations performed after selecting a SelFil involve

writing information back to the database.  SelFils used for these types of

operations must be set to READ / WRITE mode.   However, READ ONLY  is good

enough for our purposes here, and since the program runs faster when in READ

ONLY  mode, leave it set that way and hit  [ENTER].

The commands should once again be visible along the bottom edge of the

screen now.  Using the left and right arrow keys, move the highlight over to the

word  SAVE and hit  [ENTER].  Then, using the left and right arrow keys, move

the highlight over to the word  QUIT and hit  [ENTER].

Whichever method you have chosen to sort records by, either Sorting by Last

Update or Sorting by Custom Flags, the SelFil you have designed will filter out all

of the records that we want to deal with, namely those which have been updated

due to additions or deletions.  You must now tell the program what data items

you wish to retrieve from those particular records.  

You will most likely want to export the Parcel ID, Current Land Value and Current

Building Value for each of the modified parcels.  Following a brief explanation of

the different file types commonly employed when exporting data, we will continue

with our example and design an Export Format Table that will allow us to obtain

those new values in the form of an exported file.
