Re: Whoto remove line feed control character from report output

It seems you are transfering the file in question in ascii mode when you deliver it. Try binary mode.

I am creating a output flat file for a 3rd party company. The file is fix length 80columns. After sending the file to the 3rd party I was informed that there is a line feed character at position 81. Only when viewing the file in TextPad did I manage to see the special character. In the vi editor I can't see the LF character. Now how do I remove this character from each line of the file. Can the 4gl report do this for me?
