Export a LOBSTAHS database (LOBdbase) object to a text file

Description

Collects all elements of a LOBdbase-class object into a single table, then writes the table to a .csv file.

Usage

exportDBtoCSV(LOBdbase)

Arguments

LOBdbase

A LOBSTAHS "LOBdbase" object.

Details

exportDBtoCSV extracts data from all slots in a given "LOBdbase" object and flows it into a data frame. The data frame is then written to a .csv file with a series of plain-language column headers. The file name includes the database polarity mode and a timestamp (in user's local time) indicating the time and date of export.

Value

A .csv file containing data from a LOBdbase-class object.
