Extending on what Wim has pointed out, simplifying output (and assuming no numeric data that requires formatting:
Or even:
If you do not require formatted numeric data in the output:
Code: Select all
DatasourceASCIIQuoteCharacter='';
vTab=Char(9);
vDoubleQuote=Char(39);
asciioutput ( 'c:\file.txt' , EXPAND(%field1%%vTab%%field2%"%vDoubleQuote%s%vTab%%field3%' ));
Code: Select all
DatasourceASCIIQuoteCharacter='';
# Better yet, TAB is implicitly embedded in the output string
vDoubleQuote=Char(39);
asciioutput ( 'c:\file.txt' , EXPAND('%field1% %field2%"s %field3%') );
Code: Select all
DatasourceASCIIQuoteCharacter='';
# vNumberVar = a constant, calculation result, datasource variable or some combination
# without having to do a NumberToString conversion.
# TAB is implicitly embedded in the output string
vDoubleQuote=Char(39);
asciioutput ( 'c:\file.txt' , EXPAND('%field1% %field2%"s %field3% %vNumberVar%') );
