Hope this code will help you

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
MODEL
BY CAR
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT &OUT
END

It will ask for the output format give your required format there

Formats for a fex file????
Do you mean the results of the fex or do you intend to present the fex file itself in some different formats?
What choices may the users have in that case?

quote:

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT &OUT
END

It will ask for the output format give your required format there

Only if you have amper autoprompting turned on (IBIF_wfdescribe in ('XMLRUN','XMLPROMPT')).

If you mean that you want the user to select from a variety of formats, then what Surenther suggested would be a small piece of puzzle, keeping in mind what Tony A said. Then DEFAULT "&OUT" to a specific value and create a launch page for that fex with a selection control for the "&OUT" as desired. See this example as a potential solution. I did this one for Chubb & Son Insurance. This example uses the format icons for the execution buttons for the outputs available to the users. You'll also need to add the styles for each format which you make available to the user.
