Difference between Put and Export

[Dharmendra]

Hi,

I am not able to see the exact difference between Put and Export. Can anyone help me please.

My understandings,
1. Unformatted can be used for Put but not Export.
2. delimiter can be used for both. (Put stream s1 unformatted "," - Export stream s1 delimiter "," )
3. There are inverted commas for the output data when using Export.

These are my understandings but what I think is there might be exact differences between these two.

4.- With export you have an automatic break line, with put you must do an "skip".
5.- export take care if data contain delimiter character or quotes, with put you must take care of it
