Portable Subfile

[Bob Bushley (Burbank)]

Thank You All!

I have the solution to my problem thanks to many of you list server freinds.

The Portable option on the subfile statement created an ASCII dat file for
me.

However when I coded the following to get a carriage return on the end of
each line the portable subfile retuened to hex format.
Per Bob Edis I needed to use the linefeed option instead,Thank You! Bob.

I needed one record per line in the dat file appx 800 bytes long with a file
length of appx 8000.

For your consideration I am transfering the file from a UNIX platform to my
PC to import into an Excel spreadsheet.

code example:

ACCESS FILE

DEFINE NL INTEGER*2 = 10
DEFINE NLX CHAR*01 = CHAR(NL)[2:1]

REPORT (elements) NLX

SET SUBFILE NAME MYSUBFILE NODICT PORTABLE KEEP

SET REPORT NOLIMIT

 

GO 

THANK YOU ALL!!!!
