One way you can limit the number of records is to specify a quantity or range of records. Using the Scope option, you can export a single record or a group of records positioned sequentially in the file.

Note:
The active index and the current record pointer affect the results of the scope options Next and Rest. For example, the next record in a table indexed by last name is probably different than one in a table indexed by state. This does not affect the Record option because the number for a record does not change when the table is indexed.

To export a limited number of records

From the File menu, choose Export.
Enter the source table and destination file information.

Select the appropriate Scope option and complete the Scope dialog box.
