I can get a hyperlink to appear as a field value in EXL2K output, but it appears only as text.
Is there a way to make this a working (clickable) hyperlink?
DEFINE FILE CAR
BLANKER/A500 WITH COUNTRY= '';
URL/A255 = 'http://www.google.com';
END
TABLE FILE SOC_ARSCHEMA
PRINT
BLANKER AS 'BLANKER'
URL AS 'URL'
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END
-EXIT

Interesting. I would not have thought to put the URL in the stylesheet.

I couldn't make it work properly in my application, what is wrong with it?
DEFINE FILE CAR
BLANKER/A500 WITH COUNTRY= '';
URLink/A255 = IF COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' THEN 'http://www.google.gb' ELSE 'http://www.google.com';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR AS 'BLANKER'
COUNTRY AS 'Local Google'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=2, URL=URLink,$
ENDSTYLE
END

You can't use a "field" in a URL:
DEFINE FILE CAR
BLANKER/A500 WITH COUNTRY= '';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR AS 'BLANKER'
COUNTRY AS 'Local Google'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N2, URL='http://www.google.gb', WHEN= COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND',$
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N2, URL='http://www.google.com', WHEN= COUNTRY NE 'ENGLAND',$
ENDSTYLE
END
-EXIT
DEFINE FILE CAR
AUDITLINK1/A50= 'http://www.google.com/';
AUDITLINK2/A255= '<a href='||''''|| AUDITLINK1 | '''' | '>' || CAR.MODEL ||'</a>';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
AUDITLINK2 AS 'Hyperlink Field'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

ColdWhiteMilk's solution works better because all the links are coming from a file. Thank you both.
