Re Export

[Richard Kreiss]

One of my client's needs to have me create a Nacha format file for handling ACH payments.

Each record is 94 bytes long and is made up of 13 fixed sized elements.  Similar to IMB RPG programming language.

I have created a long variable foobar(94,*) to hold each element also long variables of the proper size for that element.  IN some cases numerical values are zero filled and in others either left or right justified with blanks to fill the element or field. Also, in some of the alphanumeric fields which call for a name the  are spaces.

My problem is when I look at the file created, most of the exported records are on 2 lines not one.

Windows server 2008, Windows 7 on the desktop, filePro 5.6.10

My command line is:
 Export ascii nacha = (filename) r=\n

How do I tell filePro when using export to ignore spaces and treat the whole field as one record?  Or, do I need to use filePro I/O writeline() to accomplish this?
