Oops! The UT messed up my sample. The syntax should have been:
SET TEXTMERGE TO SET TEXTMERGE ON
*setup logic
\**ALLTRIM(Field1)**
*shutdown logic
SET TEXTMERGE TO SET TEXTMERGE OFF SHOW
Because the UT is trying to interpret the two left/right angle brackets, it truncated my message. Substitute a double left/right angle brackets for the double asterisks in my example.
Sheesh. LOL

If I send this expression to a text file by the code: SELECT ALLTRIM (field1) FROM table1 TO FILE myfile PLAIN, it places "info 01 ABCD" into the text file but with unwanted spaces before and after. What I need is the exact expression "info 01 ABCD", a carriage return and no empty spaces after. For example if I send four ALLTRIM(field1)’s to the text file one after the other it will be formatted as >> >>info 01 ABCD >>info 01 ABCD >>info 01 ABCD >>info 01 ABCD >> >>Is this possible? Can I control formatting in a text file to that extent?
