You could try two pipes with no space and/or add another option that confirms a parameter that you don’t need changed.
I suspect R:Base is expecting something to follow your pipe... Regards, Alastair. From: Frank Taylor Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2011 5:50 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Gateway Export Question We have a new customer that wants a flat file sent to them with the fields separated by the | (Pipe) symbol and no quotes. I thought this was going to be very simple, but I am having an issue where it is giving me blank (No separator) instead of | Here is the command I am using gateway export Tab p:\durgin.txt select * from quotetable option COL_NAMES ON | separator | If I change it to Separator #, then that works as does other symbols. I tried putting the quotes around the pipe '|' symbol but still no luck. Any suggestions ? This is RB V9.1 Frank Taylor - Information Technology Administrator F.J.
