Fw: Export file and the use of Append -a

[Dennis Malen]

Still have the problem of the append -a with fixed length. I am able to
append but it does not create a new line for each new append.

pn="/tmp/rnx/rnx"{ex{xlate(@td,"/",""){".wp"

export ascii rnf=(pn) -a

a(10)=@rn;b(9)=6;c(40)=ww;d(40)=27;e(40)="";f(40)=28;g(2)=29;h(10)=13

rnf(1)=a&b&c&d&e&f&g&h;write rnf;close rnf

Do I need one of the following after &h above?:
1.&"\n" or
2.&chr("10")

If anyone can confirm if this is what is to be done to add a new line please
let me know.

Ken Brody seemed to say that filepro takes care of the new line if you use
an append -a and that nothing more is necessary. That does not seem to be
the case.
