Gunner, Using an old Norton Utility "DISKEDIT" I was able to look at a file written by one of my applications. Each line ends with x'0D' x'0A' characters. These equate to "Carrage Return", "Line Feed". The final line is x'0D' x'0A' x'1A'.
You might try the now undocumented "CONTINUE" option of the WRITE command WRITE .varname CONTINUE This would suppress the "carrage return" "line feed". You could then do WRITE .CR CONTINUE or WRITE .LF CONTINUE after doing each of your original line writes. Assume SET VAR CR TEXT = (CHAR(13)) for Carrage return or SET VAR LF = (CHAR(10)). See www.rsyntax.com for V6.5++ WRITE command.

Just curios what is the default end of character.

Gunnar, To exclude the default end of character, try the following technique and see what you get: Example: SET WIDTH 700 SET LINES 0 SET EOFCHAR OFF OUTPUT myfile.txt -- do what you have to do here ... OUTPUT SCREEN SET EOFCHAR ON SET LINES 19 SET WIDTH 79 RETURN Hope that helps! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
