Hello, Guys,

I try to use Fexp to extract data from a table. I used Mode INDICATOR FORMAT FASTLOAD, Then "SEL * from Tablename".
THe result data file in non-readable. Did anybody meet the same problem as me?
Thanks,

What do you mean by "non-readable"? Non-ASCII text?

Try FORMAT TEXT without MODE INDICATOR, this will result in records containing only data and end-of-record (newline).
But this still will not export ASCII text, you have to CAST all columns to CHAR.

For more details about expoirt formats check the manuals...
