Importing data from an external source

PowerBuilder

If the data for a DataWindow is not coming from a database or a Web service data source (that is, the data source was defined as External in the DataWindow wizard), you can use these methods to import data into the DataWindow control:

ImportClipboard
ImportFile
ImportString

You can also get data into the DataWindow by using the SetItem method or by using a DataWindow expression.

For more information on the SetItem method and DataWindow expressions, see Manipulating data in a DataWindow control.
