To Quiz or not to Quiz...

Hi everybody, 

I'm trying to extract powerhouse data to an ASCII file keeping the correct
dictionary picture format.

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...

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.   

There is certainly a way to create records more than 263 characters long in
Quiz or to use the dictionary format in QTP ?

Surely I'm missing something.... ? 

I'm talking about powerhouse 7.10.E sitting on a vax computer running
OpenVMS 6.2

Thank's ! 

Best regards.
