Here is the code that I am using:

APP HOLD WEBOD
APP FI FOOTER DISK WEBOD/TEST.HTM

TABLE FILE REPORTFOOTER
PRINT FOOTER
ON TABLE SAVE AS FOOTER
END

Where the FOOTER field is html code. Example:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
HTML Footer Test
</body>
</html>


After I run this code, I look at the test.htm file that was saved and see this:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
HTML Footer Test
</body>
</html>
%$


So I am wondering why there is a %$ on the end of the test.htm file? Has anyone dealt with this before?

Probably not that weird - those are most likely carriage-return line-feed characters.

What OS are you running this on?

I just tried this on Win XP and had no problem.

It also might be that the footer field you're accessing is a text field. If that is indeed the case, the %$ is added to indicate to whomever is reading the file that the text field ends there. It might very well be that there are more records in the file, and so you need something to indicate where a record ends.

GamP, you are correct, it is a text field that we are reading. Do you know if there is a way to get rid of the %$ so that it doesn't append itself to the file?

Haven't tried this, but you might get away with defining a new field of A1000V format (for instance) and printing that field.
What I did try, and what also works, is to redefine the text field in the master to something like the A1000V - or whatever maximum size suits you best.
