Export ASCII R=\N -X

[john at mcngroup.net]

Running filepro 5.8 on windows10

 

Creating ascii fixed length file for IRS which must be 750 characters

Using export ascii fil = C:\appl\test-file. R=\N -X  it creates the file
required

 

To check the file, I created a non-filepro file linked to the file
C:\appl\test-file which is 1 field,  752,* instead of 750

It loads the data to view and verify. Had to add 2 characters to the
non-filepro fixed length file to view the data file otherwise it wraps the
records.

Are the extra 2 characters  "-|"   it loads at the end of the file a
carriage return and line feed or what are they and how do they affect the
length of the data file?
