I need to create a text file that has matches a specific fixed width format. It was simple enough to SET DEVICE TO FILE textfile.txt and do a series of @ row,col Say 'mydata' where row and column matched the specs required. I have since run into a problem with longer files. It seems that when I get to line 2185, an error message is created saying 'invalid coordinates'. This is true whether device is set to screen or file. Any suggestions on a more proper way to due this? On some files, I cannot have line feeds or carriage returns at the end of the lines.

TIA,
Marcus.
