Application object

This method is used with ImportToDatabase and ExportFromDatabase. We recommend that these three methods be implemented by advanced users only.

StatusOnExportFile checks the status of a file created by ExportFromDatabase. The available information is returned in the parameters.

The method returns 0 if it succeeded in getting the statuses. Otherwise, for example if the specified file does not exist, the method returns an error code. See Event return value constants.
