How do I force export from within a loop

The command to force the export of a record is the export command itself.
Just go "through" the actual export line each time you want to send out a
record.

  Ken, Bob and Charles fixed my configuration and screen problem so fast I
thought I would try and give you a harder problem.



  I use FilePro to export an ASCII output file that is loaded into a CASS
mailing program used to send letters. A person or Company could have more
than ten (10) individual FilePro records that need letters. I have space on
a single letter for only ten (10) lines. Each record that is output takes
one line on the letter.



  The problem is I need to force and export of data while still keeping
track of where I am in the index or from inside the get “getnext record “
loop.



  I have a routine that prints the letters using FilePro and the “FORM”
command to force output but have not found a command to force “export ”
within a getnext loop.



  Any suggestions.



  Thanks
