We do it a lot, and due to the custom data necessary just build the string in code and output it to a file.
If your needs are simple you can probably do it as a report using a fixed font Mark Lindner Lindner & Associates PC 254 Second Ave Needham MA 02494 781 247 1100 Fax 781 247 1143 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Vincent Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 10:49 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Fixed Position File Export Is there a way to export data from Rbase in a fixed field position format? I remember in the 'ole days, RBDOS 4.5Plus had a Fixed format export in Gateway where you would place [S]tart and [E]nd markers for the specified fields. Never thought I would need this functionality again, BUT a customer needs to supply accounting information to a customer on a regular basis in this format. Looks like they are planning on importing this into some COBOL program based on the sample format they provided. Any recommendations on how I might be able to accomplish this would be appreciated. Thanks -- Rob
