Have
you tried
show v
vcombine=100
The
100 sets the string length

A long shot here, I wonder if it has to do
anything with the charater set. Maybe notepad/windows is reading
a char
rbase is putting in as something else. I know there are some people on this
list that know more
about this than I do, I have never tinkered in this
area. Just a thought.

Hi,
Wrap is off. The difference in the files depends if the EOFCHAR
is either on or off. I guess I'll just have to delete the EOF
character manually.

The new versions of
notepad for W2k and XP automatically wrap.. You have to go to
the
format menu and uncheck wrap. What's a pain is it doesn't always
remember this setting if
I remember right, or it may be it only
remembers is with same file that it has opened.. can't
recall at
moment..

Hi,
Using both 6.5++ and 7. Opening in Notepad is where we notice the
difference, two other text editors show no wrapping.
I am creating a empty file with the SET OUTPUT filename and using a cursor
with a while loop to append data that is in a variable with a write command.
In the loop, data of each record is added to the variable using the sput
function to create the correct column widths, append variable to file, fetch
new record.
I've tried placing the SET EOFCHAR OFF inside the loop but have the same
results.

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.
