Why not?  This works just fine for me on 5.0.14D4, as it both appends
and uses fixed-length fields.

  1  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
         If:
       Then: end
  2  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
@entsel  If:
       Then: show "\{T}-Test export -a -x"
  3  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
         If:
       Then: end
  4  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
@keyT    If:
       Then: export ascii foo=/tmp/foo.txt r=\n -a -x
  5  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
         If:
       Then: foo[1] = 1 ; foo[2] = 2 ; foo[3] = @tm
  6  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
         If:
       Then: end
