FORMATLOCAL

Valid for

Extract

Description

Use FORMATLOCAL to determine whether formatting extracted data occurs on the source or the target. When data is output on NonStop, formatting is always local.

When formatting remotely, database definitions need to be exported from NonStop to the remote system. Retrieving this information is automatic when formatting is local, eliminating the requirement to keep remote definitions synchronized with the most current definitions.
