Symbolic Link (SYLK) is a Microsoft file format typically used to exchange data between applications, specifically spreadsheets.
Composed of only displayable ANSI characters, it can be easily created and processed by other applications, such as databases.
Otherwise, Microsoft Excel will issue an error message and skip loading the overlong line.
For example: The following SYLK code demonstrates the cell formatting properties: Date and time are stored as a floating point value.
The cell style has to be set to some date formatting value, e.g. P;Pdd/mm/yyyy\ hh:mm:ss to be displayed properly.
