Examples of common export calls are provided below.

It is convenient to set up one or more import directory paths up front. For example:

<code>
string $exportDir= $modelHome + "/exportData"
</code>

===== csv coordinate format =====

This code exports a 2-dimensional population TOOL object (by age, by time) to a csv file with age in the rows and time in the columns.
<code>
export (refPop[a,ts]; dataFormat=coordinate, fileFormat=text, allCoord=off, delimiter=",", \
			heading=on, file=$exportDir/refPop.csv)
</code>

===== tab delimited text odometer (block) format =====
This format is useful for migrating data between models in a human-readable format, as opposed to binary //tool//-format files. Note the use of ''expForm'' and ''decimals'' parameters to preserve precision.

<code>
export (immigration[s,ts1,a]; dataFormat=odometer, fileFormat=text, \
	expForm=on, decimals=6, \
	file=$exportDir/immigration.txt)
</code>

produces the following (header not shown):

<file>
!	sex=male
! 	0		1		2	
"1977"	1.049407e+02	1.314661e+02	1.317941e+02
"1978"	9.129648e+01	1.133035e+02	1.212180e+02
"1979"	8.643492e+01	9.573391e+01	9.366822e+01
"1980"	9.673356e+01	9.806976e+01	9.806976e+01
</file>

See the [[howtos:workwithdata:import_quick_reference#tab_delimited_text_odometer_block_format|corresponding import call]].

===== TOOL format =====

This is an example of exporting to whatIf's native (binary) TOOL file format:

<code>
export (customCensusPop[pzce,s,byrs,acc]; format=tool, file=$exportDir/customCensusPop)
</code>
