If the field sizes in your table match the field sizes for your output exactly, you can use TYPE SDF rather than DELIMITED, eg:

USE MyTable
COPY TO (cExportFile) TYPE SDF

If the field sizes don't match exactly, I'd use either low-level file IO, textmerege or creation of a string with appropriate formatting and use STRTOFILE() to write it out.
