RE: writing to a flat ASCII file

Stefan, I ~think~ this is an easy one... To write to a flat file, I usually use: START REPORT rpt TO "filename" syntax. You can also use the: REPORT TO "filename" syntax within the OUTPUT section of the report. If this is all you needed, you're welcome. Otherwise, try again with a more explicit example. --Craig (craig@chemistry.utah.edu) P.S. If you're trying to add to the bottom of an existing ASCII file, you might try: START REPORT rpt TO PIPE "cat >> filename" > how do I write in a flat ASCII file with a 4GL-report. > There is a chapter (4.1.2) in the INFORMIX-FAQ; but it > doesn't work. We are using INFORMIX-4GL V4.11 with ONLINE.
