The \download command in ACT (or DOWNLOAD FILE command in ODBC) makes a copy of the specified, installed file or function (identified by its installed_filename, optionally qualified with schemaname) and saves it on the file system where the ACT client is running.
Syntax
In ACT:
\download [schemaname/]installed_filename [file_pathname]
In ODBC:
DOWNLOAD FILE [schemaname/]installed_filename [file_pathname]
Optionally, you can specify a file/path name for the saved file by supplying the file_pathname argument. This argument can be just a file name or a path name, but the destination directory must exist on the file system where you are running ACT.
The \install and \remove commands can be used transactionally in a BEGIN / COMMIT block just like any transactional SQL command.
