How to Export ODB++ with Dynamic Text?

Typically FAB 3000 will explode all text when exporting to various formats.  However during ODB++ export you can explicitly instruct FAB 3000 keep dynamic text.  Please make sure to select "Explode All except Dynamic" for Text Output (see below).


Here's a quick tutorial movie showing me output text in FAB 3000 using ODB++ Dynamic text variables.

YY year (12)
