Thanks. I'll try the low-level approach.

>>I'm in the process of creating some strictly formatted text files to migrate some data in fox tables to another system. The text stream generated from each record needs to be all in one line or row in the text file. I'm not able to generate the row of text correctly for some of the records. They seem to be too long and my output gets an unwanted carriage return. Can anyone tell me about the specific limitations of sending output to a text file. I'm using 'set alternate' and then generating the text stream with ? and ?? operators. Any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated.
