GOAL:
How to remove the double quotes around character fields when using the 4GL EXPORT Statement?
FIX:
EXPORT DELIMITER "," field1 field2 field3Gives 1,"abc","def ghiii"
If 1,abc,def ghiii is wanted instead, then do:
PUT UNFORMATTED field1 "," field2 "," field3 ","
Note that the point of the EXPORT Statement is often to use the IMPORT Statement later. At last, the point of the double quotes that come with the EXPORT Statement is to not mess up everything if the delimiter (comma here) happens to be in character field.
