Ugh...what's wrong with this????

COPY TO [g:\temp\3lowercounties] FIELDS EXCEPT filler* TYPE CSV 
DELIMITED WITH ["]

It's the DELIMITED part that's throwing the error.  I wanted to embed 
quotes around the fields because some fields are getting interpreted as 
numbers where they're not supposed to be.  For example 07008E00000 shows 
in Excel as 7008.  Even after I format the Column's cells to be TEXT, it 
doesn't respect the true character string of the cell (probably because 
by that point, it's already been neutered).


Here's my code:

CLOSE ALL
CLEAR ALL

LOCAL lcText as String, lcTarget as String, lnFiles as Integer, lnLoop 
as Integer
LOCAL ARRAY laFiles[1]

SET DEFAULT TO [G:\temp\TLC vs DHMH]
lcTarget = [c:\crap\master.txt]
lnFiles = ADIR(laFiles,"*.TXT")

STRTOFILE("",lcTarget) && start
FOR lnLoop = 1 TO lnFiles
        lcText = FILETOSTR(laFiles[lnLoop,1])
        STRTOFILE(lcText,lcTarget,1) && append file to master
ENDFOR

CREATE CURSOR MyCursor ;
        (MCOProv c(9), ;
         filler1 c(5), ;
         FQHCProv c(9), ;
         filler2 c(5), ;
         TypeOfService c(7), ;
         filler3 c(7), ;
         PatMANum c(13), ;
         filler4 c(1), ;
         PatName c(42), ;
         SvcDate c(10), ;
         filler5 c(4), ;
         ProcCode c(5), ;
         filler6 c(9), ;
         digit2 c(2), ;
         filler7 c(12), ;
         begdate c(10), ;
         filler8 c(4), ;
         enddate c(10), ;
         filler9 c(4), ;
         patid c(11))
        
APPEND FROM (lcTarget) TYPE SDF

COPY TO [g:\temp\3lowercounties] FIELDS EXCEPT filler* TYPE CSV && 
DELIMITED WITH ["]


Ideas appreciated...thanks!
