If you are dealing with integers or packed numbers, then they'll still be stored 
that way in the subfile.

Try a portable subfile... SET SUBFILE PORTABLE DATAFILE filename.  That should 
dump all ASCII.  

I don't remember a 300 character limit when using subfiles.  If that's the case, 
try doing this in QTP.

By the way... this POWERH-L list is moving.  Posts should now be made 
powerh-l@lists.swau.edu.
