Razzak -
Thanks for your reply. If you are referring to the article
"Creating Fixed Field ASCII File using Reports" from the Tips and Techniques
section of From The Edge, I considered that and found that it is not
practical. There are five different record types and by the time I got
through fooling around with setting up the breakpoints, etc, and getting the
blanks between fields set right I would be much older and grayer before I
got finished.
I was hoping I had missed something, and I had. I will place the
record information into a text variable and then write that text variable to
the file with the command WRITE .varname = nnn as suggested by J.M. It
works perfectly.
