export pipe delimitted

[scooter6 at gmail.com]

Client wants some select records sent to them using pipe delim format.

I think I'm fairly close on the output processing, but it's all hard coded.
I want to make this where the user select the records by entering a client
number or a range of client numbers.

This calls for a second output processing?

So, eventually I can put this on a menu that would call something like

/u/appl/fp/rreport file -f export -u -a -v clientsel

In clientsel, I need to put what exactly that would ask the user for a
beginning client number and ending client number?

Also, is it customary in a pipe delim file to have a pipe at the end of the
record?

So, should it look like:

John|Smith|1234|field1|field2|

or just:

John|Smith|1234|field1|field2    ??

thanks in advance for any guidance
