Joe, I created the character field with 5 rows. After further testing I realized that it stopped writing to the file once it reached the first space. That tells me that it doesn't treat the character field as a single input parameter, but rather looks at spaces as a delimiter between multiple input parameters. I'm debating whether to create a loop inside the batch file that reads all input parameters and reconstructs the file.

I tried it, but I ran into a slight problem. Only one line in the character field was written to file. Everything past the first carriage return was lost. Any suggestions to write it all at once without parsing the character field at the carriage returns and appending to the file? - mark -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ] On Behalf Of Kaiser Norm E CIV USAF 96 CS/SCCE Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 3:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Write a Field Value to File In Windows and using the User tool, you can do a RUN PROCESS that calls a batch file.
