<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Hi everybody, </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">I'm trying to extract powerhouse data to an ASCII file keeping the correct dictionary picture format.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Using Quiz, everything is OK, it's like a report, so the numbers are formatted according to the dictionary format without having to specify a picture for every field. Good! But, I cannot exceed the 263 characters barrier for a record. It wraps the line. ... hum... too bad...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Using QTP, I don't have the wraparound problem but the format of the fields is catastrophic. Presented as they are stored on file, without any decimal format, the numbers are useless. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">There is certainly a way to create records more than 263 characters long in Quiz or to use the dictionary format in QTP ?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Trebuchet MS">Surely I'm missing something.... ? </FONT>
