It would help if you could send the source code if it's not too complicated,
or the minimum code required to reproduce the problem, together with a
description of the input.  We're guessing what the possible cause is.

Do you have headings forcing the extra spacing perhaps ? 

Try SET NOHEAD ?

	I have in my report 'set report spacing 0' and the dat file has the
extra 5 
characters. How do I get rid of the extra 5 characters without tabing? It is

doing this on every element in the report statement. 

	Thank You!

Fellow Listservers 

	I am using a dat subfile to export semicolon delimited text file to
Excel. 
My problem is a have a character field of 8 bytes and when I import it into 
Excel the field has 5 leading characters in it. This only happens on text 
general characters fields not on numeric general text fields. Can someone 
explain way or how to stop the extra 5 blank left justified characters from 
appearing in my field. 

	Thank You!
