For detailed information about these DSCs and how they interpret the underlying data, see
Available DSCs.
ADO DSC
Reads case data and metadata from ADO files.
Internal name: mrAdoDsc
Data File CDSC
Reads and writes case data to a UNICOM Intelligence file-based database. The UNICOM Intelligence Data File CDSC has all the features of the Relational MR Database (RDB) CDSC, but does not require a separate relational database management system. UNICOM Intelligence Data Files therefore provide a simpler and more portable format for the storage of "offline" UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer data.
Internal name: mrDataFileDsc

Reads and writes tab-delimited, variable length, case data records to a text file.
Internal name: mrCsvDsc
Log DSC
