Hey,
I would like to know how to suppress column titles in my exported txt file. When I use:

COLUM1 AS ''

Quote marks come out on the text file as the title for COLUMN1. I've looked through help, but so far I haven't found anything. Thanks!

Not sure what you mean. The data in the text (ALPHA) file will not be affected by the AS '' statement.

Mark,
It seems to me that you are writing COLUMN1 AS " instead of COLUMN1 AS '', using a double quote instead of 2 single quotes.

The two single quotes together look like a single double quote here in the forum.

The focus code has single quote marks with nothing in between.

The text file comes out like this:

"","","",""

Are you using FORMAT COMT ? This would be normal behaviour as COMT saves column headings in the first line.

Try using FORMAT COM if you don't want column headins.
