Hi Guys, I am trying to export a fixed file. I tried changing the format to “Fixed Width”. However when the file is exported the end of row is not detected. The value in the Header row delimiter field is {CR}{LF}. The file was created in a SQL Server proc. It is defined as:
Field1 Varchar (6)
Filler Varchar (1)
Field2 Varchar (5)

Any ideas on how can I get the file to export properly?

Thank you,
Trudye
