Q:Can my software get its reports to be read by Monarch?
A: If your software runs in Windows and can print to the Generic Text print driver, then it can print to a text file and Monarch can read that text file.
If the application supports exporting in text, then fixed width or space delimited exports are a good choice. If you have Monarch Pro, then you can import more file formats, including comma separated text.
If you are using a mainframe or ERP system on another operating system, the files should be copied to the Windows environment using the connectivity software provided with the system.
If your software runs in DOS and has a print to screen option you can put ">filename.txt" as part of the command line, which will cause what is displayed on the screen to be saved to a new text file. This new text file can then be read by Monarch.
