Hi Kellie :)
Have you got SuprTool from Robelle? Works like a charm... believe
',PRN' at the end of the output statement will do just what you want ...
otherwise it is still doable using COBOL but I would recommend BASIC/3000
as it does trimming and such easier (in my opinion... humble or not is for
the hearer to decide :) hehehe)
I used to use SuprTool all the time to prep for CSV files that I would
then download to PC's and network servers for loading into FoxPro, xBase,
dBase III+, Lotus 123, QuatroPro, Vulture (that is an old one!!!) and so on
...
Thanks,
Art "ahhh... the good old days ! hehehe" Bahrs

I've read the archives - and the only info I can find on CSV files is
converting
to fixed from a csv file.
I was wondering if there was a way to create a *real* csv file on the 3000.
I don't have many resources - I can create a csv file with COBOL or with
QUIZ. What they really are is a fixed length file with commas in between
the
fields. Problem is, if you open the file up in excel - there are extra
spaces, and
it doesn't handle it correctly (you can see the data fine - but if you need
to
load it into a database or do a lookup - it includes the trailing spaces).
I'd
have to do a trim in excel and re-save the file to get rid of the spaces.
Is there a way to do this in COBOL or even just from the OS?
