Those select statements don't have the same number of records. For example, the first select only retruns a lable and the number of recrods; the second one is the real data extract. Is it possible to concatenate them together and export to one flat file?

Thanks
 
You're talking to a database, so talk SQL. Concatenate? Translate that phrase into JOIN or UNION.
Build a SQL query which returns the result you request. Then use that same SQL in your export statement.
 
If repeating the table and no. of records is no problem:

Code:
SELECT TEMP1.TABLE,TEMP1.COUNTNO,TEMP2.* FROM
((SELECT TABLE AS TABLE,COUNT(*) AS COUNTNO FROM ..............
GROUP BY TABLE) TEMP1
CROSS JOIN
(SELECT ................. FROM ............) TEMP2)

Assuming the TEMP1 set consists of 1 record..
