I'd also recommend the (Free!) Cedarville Download programs from here:

ftp://ftp.cedarville.edu/

From their readme file:

Create merge files, HTML files, XML files, dbf files, and ASCII files using LIST-style syntax. Options include adding control breaks, heading and footing records, secondary file access without the use of I-descriptors or virtual fields. Reference manual included. Installation procedures for Unidata, Universe, and Prime Information. Operating system support for Unix, Windows, and Primos.

Add COUNT.SUP, COL.SUP, HDR.SUP to suppress record count at the bottom, column headers and report header. note that if longer than 32K lines there will be a char(12) (page break) inserted. Excel does not handle that as a page break.

Exactly! But also set the page length to something huge (999999) so that you only have 1 header. Scrape the first couple of lines (if needed) and the reset is raw text.

Thats what the &HOLD& file is for. Use the SETPTR command to redirect printing to the hold file by using mode 3 in the 6th parameter of your SETPTR statement and append LPTR to your query:

>SETPTR 0,132,66,0,0,3,BANNER FILENAME.TXT,NHEAD,NFMT,BRIEF
>LIST VOC SAMPLE 10 LPTR

This will put the output of LIST VOC SAMPLE 10 into a file in &HOLD& called FILENAME.TXT

A lot of the times I want to query UniVerse and capture that information to a text file. I can send to an XML file no problem and sometimes that is exactly what I want to do. However most of the time I just want to view the info unformatted without screen scraping or copy and pasting from Dynamic Connect.
What I really want to do is:

SORT VOC \\server\fileshare\file.txt

Thanks,

Norm
