The file name will always be set to the same by the system during export (m_Art.txt, m_Oper.txt, m_Strukt.txt, m_Text.txt), even though a dialog box appears in which it seems to possible to enter another file name.

Decimal Separator

If you select to import/export from/to text files, you can choose whether the decimal separator shall be a period or a comma.
