I'm working with an AREV 3.12 application. I've been asked to generate a LIST report but they want a double pipe (||) as a column separator. I'm looking thru the manuals and the Configuration settings seeing if I can do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me it can't be done?

I know I can do it thru the native EXPORT process and define the column separators and other things. In my reading I've found the "X" or "SX" options for a LIST report statement that create an R/BASIC program. This is something I've never tried before but I'm wondering once I create the program if I can then go in and make the needed modifications to get them the double pipe (||) separator they want.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

Hello Eric:

Thanks for the info.  I had thought of something simular but creating a symbolic.  Which meant that I would need to create a symbolic in each dictionary that I wanted to run our report on.  Using the VOC is a much cleaner way of doing it.

Thanks,

Michael Slack
