• Add new LANSA fields to the list.

• Add new LANSA files to the list.

• Add new LANSA process and/or functions to the list.

• Add all objects (LANSA fields, files and processes/functions) defined in the current partition to the list.

• Add LANSA system variables to the list.

• Add LANSA multilingual variables to the list.

• Add non-LANSA objects to the list. This is available for lists with a target system type of IBM i. This means any IBM i object that is not directly controlled by LANSA.

• Add message files to the PC Export list. This is available for lists with a target system of PC.

• Add all objects (LANSA fields, files, processes/functions and application templates) worked on under a task identifier(s) for the current partition to the list.

• Add LANSA export lists to the list.

• Review all objects currently in the list and delete those no longer required.

• Define substitution variables to be used during an import run.

• Define IBM i or CPF commands to be executed before or after an import run.

• Add Web HTML components to the list.

• Add Technology services to the list.

• Add Weblets to the list.

When reviewing an old formatted export list, this message will be displayed

"Please check. This list has been converted to show fields and components separately."

For such lists, the contents should be checked and then saved in the new format.
