Hi

I'm creating delimiter data file using Fast Export on SunOS release 5.8 system. Fast export is working fine but it is creating one special (junk like ^A ) character as first character for each record.

I don't know how to get rid of it. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
 
Any available FastExport format will export a VarChar as two bytes (a word) indicating the string length X followed by X chars.
To get rid of it, you'll have to use an OUTMOD or process the file to remove the bytes.
