1. What version of RBase are you using ?? Win - Dos ??
2. What are you opening the file in after it is created? Some text readers wrap even if you don't wan't them to. Try opening it in Notepad and set wordwrap off.
3. Are you sending this info out through a report, or a standard SET OUTPUT
filename? If you going through a report then you'll have to set the page
to landscape and the paper to legal or maybe something longer depending
on info length.
4. You comments make me think you are sending the info through a report, so here is what I suggest.. Based on Win65++, Create a new printer -- depending on operating system the steps might be different ... Create a "Generic / Text Only" printer -- this willl be in the list of manufacturers. Set the settings for this printer to be landscape and paper to be legal as the default selections. Then use PRNSETUP and change to this printer before you start the report and see what your results are.

Hi,
I am trying to create a fixed width text file that has a header and detail section without a end-of-file character. With SET EOFCHAR ON, the file is created correctly except for the end-of-file character at the bottom. With SET EOFCHAR OFF, the file looks like it has word-wrap on with each record covering multiple lines. The record line length is 962.
