I've encountered the same condition. What I've done to work around the condition is build a text string from each row of the table adding the tab character (chr(9)) between the fields. You can build a generic funtion to do this.

.
.
set order to
fcreate()
for r ... to reccount()
go r
scatter to array
for f = 1 to afields()
mystring = mystring + array(f)
next f
fwrite()
next r
fclose()
.
.
You get the idea...
