export fixed length problem

[Dennis Malen]

Jeff,

The -X does not work when you are opening and closing the file. I presented
this to the group a couple of weeks ago and Ken and others suggested I use
this approach. The problem is only the first field at this point. The rest
of the fileds are fine.
