We have a request to extract some data to what I call a tape file. The data is fixed length and there are no line breaks. Just one continuous stream of data. My thought is that this could be accomplished with an InfoTrieve using 'list TO' as in list AGREEMENT F1 F2 TO file.txt There is of course more to it than this, but if I can strip out whatever creates the line break, I think I can do what I need. So my question to the group is: what character(s) are create the new line when ouptutted from an InfoTrieve? Has anyone done this before? I'm thinking I'd used tr or sed to clean things up.
