Hi,
Is there a way to create a Fixed width text report output with .txt extension without using filedef. I would like to create something similar to xls output where the user gets theoption open save dialog when he runs the report.
Thanks

You can return anythis as text with:
SET HTMLFORMTYPE {type}
-HTMLFORM {hold|save file}


You may have to play with the types, to find one that gives you want you want, text wise. It also may depend on the mime settings, etc as to what happens for prompting to save.
