Here's a simple technique for creating the last record without a CRLF on the end: -- Example OUTPUT ABC.TXT -- WRITE statements here ... SET EOFCHAR OFF OUTPUT SCREEN SET EOFCHAR ON Notice the SET EOFCHAR OFF, last statement before the OUTPUT SCREEN, and SET EOFCHAR ON after the OUTPUT SCREEN command. That should provide you with a file with desired results.
