Seamus,

I have run into this before, you can use QTP and create your header with one
output and append the details with another.  You might also try Robelle's
STEXPORT.

Subject: Quiz Page width problem


Hi,
I'm having problem exporting a long field from Quiz on to my disc.
I'm on a HP3000 and I want to create a file in CSV format.
Trouble is that the length of my field is about 500 characters.

This is it 


def header char *  508 =      &,
Pack ("PATNUM" + ";" +        &,
      "PATRAI" + ";" +        &,
      "PATNOM" + ";" +        &,         etc..

 
Then :
def packet char * 508 =                  &,

Pack (asc(PATNUM)   + ";" +     &,

       PATRAI       + ";" +     &,

       PATNOM       + ";" +     &,  etc 

     
Then  :

:purge lftest
:build lftest ;rec=-512,,f,ascii
set rep dev disc name lftest

That part seems OK.

Then I do

 init head header
 set page len 0
 set rep spa  0
 rep packet
 go

I get this message from QUIZ
*E* Can't report an element exceeding PAGE WIDTH specification.

Limit seems to be 256.
Any way round this ?

TIA

Seamus
