 I looked in my notes.  I see you're exporting to a CSV.  If you don't need a 
CSV, my notes say that exporting to a worksheet (XLS) rather than a work book 
(XLSW) retains leading zeros

Subject: [RBASE-L] - leading zeros and excel gateway file

Hello, Group:
I am transfering a data file using the gateway command, and two of the fields 
which are text and have a leading zero ('0602', '0605').When I use the gateway 
command, everything is fine, except the two fields with leading zeros in the 
csv file have dropped the leading zeros (which are needed).
Am I missing something or can this be resolved. ?  gateway command and sample 
file attached
Thanks,  Jim, 
gateway command and sample file attached::  
   GATEWAY EXPORT CSV w2upload.csv +     SELECT * FROM OHIO_W2_DATA +   OPTION 
COL_NAMES OFF    ---   | SHOW_PROGRESS ON | ACTION OPENVIEW
