Hi John

I was just about to post to say my open source (topic of the day it seems 
<g>) CRTCSVDTA - http://www.dbg400.net/crtcsv.html - utility strips 
trailing spaces from character fields and will dynamically convert any 
file, but I see Tim Chrysler has beaten me to it ;) Depending on your 
needs you may want to use the RPG code as a template for your own 
application instead of using it as is, if you want to do anything else to 
the data before spitting it out as tab delimited.

Also note as Tim pointed out, you'll need the main DBG/400 routines 
installed first - http://www.dbg400.net/dbg400.html - for some common 
programs & files.

Regards, Martin
