>I'm using TEXT...ENDTEXT command for exporting the content of a table into a fixed txt file, which must have each row, delimited by a line feed and a carriage return or a record separator. The problem is that the first line will come each time empty. What shell I do in order to avoid this and is there a better way to this beside TEXT command? Another problem is that when at the end of the row I insert the record separator <

Either I will have the last field one character less that is supposed to be or I would exceed the maximum length of the row with one character so that will give me an invalid file.

Alex,
If it's a fixed length file why not simply use :
copy to myTextFile.txt type SDF
Cetin
