Creating a prn file from data base not working?

[hag]

2 items:

1. Using fwrite() to create a prn file.
The file is then picked up in excel. THe file is created but no data in it. 0 bits. Worked fine in 16 bit not working at all now. Any help is welcome.
Code below.

2. I tried the using oBrw:toexcel() and it worked pretty good however it entered the last line of the browse 600 times. Once for each record.

Help here would be great.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

   ftitle := fieldname(2)
   fty13  := fieldname(55)
   fty1   := fieldname(43)
   fty2   := fieldname(44)
   fty3   := fieldname(45)
   fty4   := fieldname(46)
   fty5   := fieldname(47)
   fty6   := fieldname(48)
   fty7   := fieldname(49)
   fty8   := fieldname(50)
   fty9   := fieldname(51)
   fty10  := fieldname(52)
   fty11  := fieldname(53)
   fty12  := fieldname(54)
   faa14   := Fieldname(82)

   go top
   plfile := "pl"+substr(gld,5,2)+".prn"

   fcreate(plfile, FC_NORMAL)  // create a new file
   nHandle := fopen(plfile, FO_READWRITE)

   go top      
   fwrite(nHandle,upper(mcompname)+CRLF+CRLF)

   fwrite(nHandle, "Account" + space(30) + "Total"    + space(10) +;
   m1  + space(10) + ;

Harvey,

1. Once FCreate() is called it automatically returns the file handle, so there is no need to open it again. Please try this example:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "FiveWin.ch"
#include "FileIO.ch"

function Main()

   local nHandle := FCreate( "test.txt", FC_NORMAL )

   FWrite( nHandle, "this" + CRLF )
   FWrite( nHandle, "is a" + CRLF )
   FWrite( nHandle, "test" + CRLF )

   FClose( nHandle )
   
   MsgInfo( MemoRead( "test.txt" ) )

return nil
