Mark1column titles in txt output
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!

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

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

Mark1The 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.
