Can't you just use the LIST command to do this in Unidata already? If you make sure UDT.OPTIONS 91 is one so that the output to an ASCII file is in OCONV format instead of ICONV, i.e., the conversion codes are forced to execute before saving to an ASCII file. For example:
UDT.OPTIONS 91 ON LIST PERSON LAST.NAME FIRST.NAME BIRTH.DATE HDR.SUP COL.SUP COUNT.SUP NO.PAGE TO DELIM " " _HOLD_/BIO.TXT SAMPLE 1000 Just put a tab between the " " in the command - literally - press the tab key. The BIO.TXT in the _HOLD_ file has you tab delimited file. You can delimit with any character between the two quotes. I always use the HDR.SUP COL.SUP COUNT.SUP NO.PAGE to get a clean output. You can probably make a VOC PH to abbreviate that. Anyway, hope that helps! -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Leach Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2006 7:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] LISTB (tab delimited output) Dave Yes, I haven't converted it to UniData - but I can if people are interested (I have a precompiler that handles most of the syntax changes). I'll put it on my to-do list anyway, but it will probably take a week before I get round to it.
