What do you mean, Dennis? See my response below (I'll strip all posts and just show it). I tried just a 13, just a 10, and a 13/10. Putting a 13 in there anywhere created a double cr

However, it puts an extra carriage return (therefore a blank row) between each row of data. Is there a way to suppress that, like a "write.... continue" would? Here's the relevant code and how different "vCRLF" variables evaluated: SET WIDTH 1500 SET VAR vCRLF = (CHAR(013)) SET HEADINGS OFF SET SELMARGIN 1 OUTPUT MIB.TXT SELECT ( LJS(SGET(policy_no,12,1),50) + LJS(tmpUniqueText,50) + LJS(ssn,9) + LJS(firstname,50) + + ....... + (SFIL(' ',675)) + .vCRLF )=1450 + FROM tmpMIB OUTPUT SCREEN Value of vCRLF: char(013) + char(010) this puts a blank row between each data row char(013) same as above char(010) does not retain the blank spaces, does a carriage return right after last data Karen
