You can output your report in the ASCII format. In the report 2.5, you need to set the Initial Value for the following Paramters field in the System Paramters under DATA Model;

• DESNAME -> xxxx.txt where Xs is the output filename
• DESTYPE -> File
• MODE -> Character

Hope this will solve your problem
