I have the following procedure:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
   RawOutput: TIBOutputRawFile;
   FileName: string;
begin
      RawOutput:= TIBOutputRawFile.Create;
     try
        with IBSQL1 do begin
             close;
             sql.text:= 'select * from employee';
             RawOutput.FileName :=  'TRANS.ibx';
             BatchOutput(RawOutput);
        end;
     finally
        RawOutput.Free
     end;
end;

In Delphi XE6, even though this procedure is run without any exceptions, no file is being created. It created the file just fine with Delphi XE5 and before.

Has anything changed? Am I missing something?

Thanx, Jeff.

I did the changes. The raw file export & import works fine. As for the delimited file, the export works fine (at least looks fine) but the import results in an "EConvertError with message 'X' is not a valid date and time" exception. FYI, my date format in the regional settings is 'dd/mm/yyyy' and the date fields in the export file look fine. I don't know if the import is trying to read them in Interbase format, i.e. 'mm/dd/yyyy'.

BTW, do I add "$(BDS)\Source\IBX" to the library path or just copy the new IBX.IBSQL.dcu file created to the "$(BDSLIB)\$(Platform)\release" folder?
