Hi,

I am outputting data to a text file from PROIV. The file is supposed to be tad delimited. How do I include a tab after each field in my PROIV Code?

Thanks,

It's covered on here elsewhere. But to cut a long story short a tab is CHAR(9).
So create an Update (or Report to a file) containing a large text field. Then append the fields...

FIELD1 + CHAR(9) + FIELD2 + CHAR(9) etc

If you have numerics in there you may need to put + CHAR(9) + CONV(NUMERICFIELD) + CHAR(9) etc.
