Running filepro 4.8 (it's what the client has so I am stuck using it)
that needs to export several fixed length files that need to be
appended. The -X flag is for fixed length, the -A flag is for
append, the problem is they appear to be mutually exclusive.
If I execute 'export ASCII vip=c:\tmp\vipexport.txt -X -A'
I get a fixed length file but the second export does not append, it
overwrites.
If I execute 'export ASCII vip=c:\tmp\vipexport.txt -A -X'
the files append but they are not fixed length.
Any ideas on how export fixed length AND append several files.
