I need to create a file that contains an EDI document that is a very long text string with no hidden markers such as EOL etc.
It could be thousands of characters long.
I tried to construct a long variable string, OUTPUT fname ; WRITE .vstring; OUTPUT SCREEN... but there appears to be a 1500 character limit on variables. I tried setting EOFCHAR OFF and... OUTPUT fname APPEND; WRITE .vstring; OUTPUT SCREEN in a loop that wrote each piece of the string variable to the file. The file looks like a single string but there is an invisible character imbedded after each append.

HELP... there must be a way in Rbase?
