I'm rusty, but it is probably dtoc("pfbstats2.year")

You might have to do something along these lines
alltrim(dtoc("pfbstats2.year"))

Ltrim() will work as well, or rtrim() depending on which way you need to go

As for the rest, I don't know what your fields are, but you will need to
build it

M_YYYY = above code
M_MM = similar code
M_DD = similar code
M_fulldate = m_yyyy + "-" + m_mm + "-" + m_dd

Subject: exporting to text delimited

Long ago I learned how to create data dump to text file snippets by browsing
a table and then using the export option to build the statement for me and
then copy it out of the command window and make it into a procedure. any way
I need to export the football season (a 4-digit) integer as a string with
quotes on each side.

 

It starts out looking something like;

COPY TO c:\alldat2\special\tmppfbstats.txt FOR pfbstats2.year=2013 

  FIELDS Pfbstats2.tmid, Pfbstats2.year, . etc and then  

  DELIMITED WITH '"' WITH CHAR ,

 

How do I export Pfbstats2.year as a 4-character string like "2013", instead
of 2013,

How do I export a date to the yyyy-mm-dd, format I need.

And of course I think I will change the .t. or .f. into "Y" or "N"

 

If I get this figured out, I should be able to update my mysql database with
2-clicks and 1-update query from mysql workbench.
