Pro2Dbf will allow you to export data from Progress database in DBF format.

I've wrote this just because even if the original articles published by Peter van Dam on this subject are public available there is no such a procedure in the public domain.
The only procedures I did found was on 4GL French web page and both was crypted, one of them even limited to 100 records in free version.

Pro2Dbf will allow you to dump the data from one buffer if you provide a buffer handle as parameter or from an open query (or at least prepared) if you provide a handle to that query as parameter.

Memo fields are supported for character field larger than 255 characters or for raw fields. If you have such fields in your buffer/query you'll be prompter to use memo field or to trim the record to 255 characters.

Decimal and extend field are supported, the dBase field format are the same as the field format from Progress table. If you didn't cared to much about the field format when you did the database design, you should create a temporary table with the desired field format before the export process - also all fancy characters from numerical format are striped out ($,€,&…).
