I think the problem is that you have two different
"export" statements in your processing.  I don't think
that is allowed.  Try making it one statement and do
your assignments in subroutines - one subroutine for
the header and one for the detail.  You will need to
use export ascii with the -a flag, so you'll probably
want to initialize your file at the beginning of this
process with a separate command - jsfile would be a
pretty simple way to do this.

jsfile :cr "/tmp/filename"
jsfile :cr-

Good Luck.
