Crystal Export question

[Mbroad]

I am writing a Crystal Report which displays some database fields. After running the report, I wish to export the data to a fixed-length file. However, when using export (i.e. record-Style, or text), the record length is variable. How can I tell Crystal to create a FIXED length file (pad the end of the record with spaces)? I need mine to be 500-characters each.

help--thanks!

Create a formula that concatenates the content and takes care of the padding.

Place the formula on the report layout, and remove everything else.

If you still have trouble, change the Characters Per Inch to the highest possible.

It helps to give your Crystal version - 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11 or whatever.
