Well here is my 2 cents on this issue. It looks as though you already have several options. I guess this is the real beauty about programming. There always seems to be another way to accomplish the task.


here is mine.

set alternate to "filename.txt"
set alternate on
SELECT table
GO TOP
? "<'"3A"'>><<','>><<'000000'>><<','>><<'0000'>> etc etc"
? "<<'"3B"'>><<','>><<'000000'>><<','>><<'0000'"'>> etc etc"
DO WHILE .NOT. EOF()
? "<>"
SKIP
ENDDO
set alternate to
set alternate off
return



I hope this works for you. Let me know if it worked for you.
