I created a macro using the instructions for exporting a comma delimited file. I removed the commas, but now the quotes are still there at the beginning and end of each line. Also, I created a derived field and used the RPad function to pad with spaces, but the spaces don't show up on the exported file. Please help!

How do I export a fixed-length text file from ReportSmith?

1. What version are you using?
2. Are you using ReportSmith as a standalone or as part of ADP?
3. One way to do this is to create a derived field the total length of you record. Then concatenate and pad your individual fields in this derived field as necessary. Then save as a txt file.
We are on 4.2 as part of ADP so somethings could be different. Corportate ADP ReportSmith Support has some canned macros that also handle a fixed length file.
