Re: How can I export table/view to a FIX Length OS File ?

Are you exporting the table or just spooling that table's data? If spooling, use the spool command, but before you do that, set echo, heading, verify, and feedback to 'OFF', set pagesize to '0', and set linesize to the proper width, and possibly set trimspool to 'ON'. In your SQL statement, use rpad or lpad to right-pad or left-pad the data with spaces to the correct length.
