Export of information

The CBS refers to any data you wish to take out of the CBS microdata environment as ‘output’. You may only take information out of the CBS microdata environment by using the export folder. Under no circumstances may you overwrite, photograph or use the ‘print screen’ function to extract data from this environment. This applies to all information you wish to extract from the CBS microdata environment, i.e. content queries, syntax and results. You can find out how to export your data correctly on the page ‘Submitting output’.
