Here is a short cut/workaround to the Fixed Length Export.

Create a simple report layout.
Using the "Grow" function, shorten all title lines.
Be sure Remove Blank Lines is Y.
Choose a "NOCODES" printer.
Populate the fields you wish in columns on the data line.
Make the length of the report the same as the lines. (66, 66)
If you wish, the fields can be delimited if needed with whatever 
character you need.

"Print" report to file (ASCII text).  The fields will be fixed length.
