SDF text file without margin spaces

Post by johngwynne » Sat Dec 18, 2010 6:44 pm

Problem: cannot get rid of margin (empty) spaces when printing to RI_PRINTER = A to create a text file report.____Report is a record 1 liner that exports to a SDF file just fine manually with no margin space created. Problem is margin space is added in the file when created using RI_PRINTER =^A^ and RI_OUTFILE with the file path and name.____This does not happen if I create a CSV file just by changing to RI_PRINTER =^CSV^. The CSV however puts "^s around the text number codes which I can^t use and does not look to be "fixed length" which is why I need the SDF.

Open the report in the designer, select export to text and then go to the options tab and check the No margins/page breaks box.__Save the report with this setting and it will be honored when you export with RI_PRINTER=A____Kathleen__R&R Support
