I came across this in the documentation for parameters:

PARAMETERS department_id, file;
SELECT Surname
FROM Employees
WHERE DepartmentID = {department_id}
>#{file}.dat;

Then I ran a quick query:

select *
from mytable
># 'c:\junk.txt';

... and found the query results in c:junk.txt. The ">#" operator does not seem to be documented in the Sybase docs, or at least it did not appear when I did a search on it. Is this all there is to the operator? Are there options for it? Are there similar operators like ">>#" to concatenate?

It's an old dbisqlc feature, see

To append, you can use ">>#" and ">>&".
