creating and export file problem

[shadowrl2644]

When using the text <lineout> process --- it create a valid textfile but the first line is blank

Added a second \\ Slash in front of the command does not help.

Code Snip I am having a problem with as follows

set safety off
SET TEXTMERGE ON noshow
STORE FCREATE('TempEdiout.txt') TO _TEXT
IF _Text = -1 && can't create low level file the exit
WAIT WINDOW 'Cannot create output file ; press a key to exit'
CANCEL
ENDIF

use EdiOut
SCAN
TEXT
\<<outline>>
ENDTEXT
ENDSCAN
CLOSE ALL
**** need to comment out
**** MODIFY FILE TempEdiout.txt
**** need to comment out
WAIT WINDOW 'create complete'
SET textmerge off
SET SAFETY off
COPY FILE TempEdiOut.txt TO &LcTheFile
COPY FILE TempediOut.txt TO &LcBkupFILE
DELETE FILE TEMPEDIOUT.TXT

What is in EdiOut? Memo field? Or a textfield? Just trying to duplicate your problem.
