Re: Export data format question

I've seen all kinds of strange requirements - it sounds like another.
Someone probably has a tool that doesn't "see" the cr/lf so they are having you force another char as the end of record...
Sounds lame, but if that's what they need...
What happens if you have a $ in the data portion?

Subject: Export data format question


A vendor wants a record with fixed length fields , followed by a
dollar sign AND a CR/LF.

Leave off either the CR/LF or the dollar sign, and record is rejected.

I don't know if the site uses SQL to parse out the data. I'm just
curious if there could be some valid reason for a record delimiter and
the CR/LF sequence.
