Text fields in Excel
I have a report that I am outputting into Excel. There is a TXT field in my report and when I output to Excel (using ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT EXL2K), the TXT field falls into several different cells instead of just one.

The result is that I have a 9000+ row report in Excel instead a 2800 row report, which is what its supposed to be.

Any suggestions on how to keep the TXT field in one cell?

It depends on the data source, but usually I change TX fields (in Master file) to A2000, or something.

I cannot change the format in the Master File -- I do not have that autohority.

I've never had much luck with defining a format change in a TXT field. Any suggestions on how to do that?
