Do you usually do a "Export ASCII file -x" or the more standard
"Export ACII file r=\n f=," version?<br>
<br>
It was the -x version that was supposed to provide the New Line and
does not have any field delimiter. That is what it seemed to do but
not when I did not send at least one CR or LF. When my data just
was text it provided no CR/LF ending. That was my complaint.<br>

Nancy, you still needed the chr("10") even after you added the
r=\n ? I am not<br>
able to test this at the moment, but I would think that this
would give you CR<br>
then CR LF (oa od oa). If it says that the record delimiter
is a new line by<br>
default, then it sounds like the documentation should be
updated to reflect the<br>
fact that you need to specify the r=\n to get the newline.<br>
