I am exporting data from FIMS but need it in ASCII format. Is this possible?
Answer:
To get data exported in comma delimited ASCII format, choose ASCII for the export format on the Send To tab. The output will not contain a header record and field values will be surrounded by double quotes.
The Excel format removes carriage returns from large text fields and this file does provide a header record. The delimiter is a tab.
Most of the time when someone asks for an ASCII file, the Excel output is sufficient.
