Re: [RBASE-L] - creating text file with blank spaces in tact

Why create a variable vspc rather than using the (char(160)) value in your SFIL? I understand it is easier to test various values. Is there any other reason? Randy Peterson. PS. It's nice to know there is a (CHAR(160)) hard space. The result is similar to using a font that is not proportional

Bruce, Thank you for the suggestion. char(160) works like a charm and does not get truncated. I will try this when I upload files next time. Hopefully the extended ASCII blank space is accepted. If there are any problems, I'll seek furth

James: Try using the "hard space" character in place of the ASCII "soft space": clear all var set var vSpc TEXT= (char(160)) set var vfiletext= ('test'+ format(.#date,'_MMDD')+ '.txt') SET VAR vline01 TEXT= (SFIL(.vSpc,50)) SET VAR vline02 TEXT= (SFIL(.vSpc,50)) SET
