All,

I have created a query with Query Manager that concatenates a number of 
character fields to one field. Each field concatenated field is seperated 
with a semi-colon. Thus: Fielda CONCAT ':'  CONCAT Fieldb CONCAT ';' CONCAT 
FieldC .... etc. The last character is a semi-colon and there is no STRIPping.

I run this query over one file and the output is directed to a file. This 
file is send afterwards to the PC with FTP. So far no problems.

The only problem is: The query adds two extra bytes at the beginning of the 
records in the file. I assume this indicates the actual length of the 
field, as query interprets it as a variable length character field.

My question is: How can I output such a query without receiving the binary 
value in front of each record?

TIA,

With regards,

Carel Teijgeler
