I am trying to create an export file that has very long records. It has 4 types of records. 1) A report header
2) a Group Header 3) Detail lines 4) a Group Header

2,3, and 4 repeat.

Each Section is one text object containing many fields. I am not selecting a separator(can I select crlf?) or a delimiter.

When exporting to a CHAR, it puts a report header(I tried it as a page header,too) before each section. Why? The preview of the report looks fine, it is only on the CHR export. It doesn't do this on txt export. I did have to add crlf to the end or beginning of some sections to force a line feed.

Someone suggested using the CHAR Sep export to overcome my length (over 600 char per record) issue.

I have a solution.
Move the report header to a group header and it won't repeat.
