Hi JR-
Point 1- AFAIK all fields in a fixed width text file are flush left because
the character count begins on the left. When imported by another data program
the values will typically be aligned right.
Point 2- The two decimal places are most likely because of the definition of
the field in the table where the values are stored. If the field was defined
this way for a reason, it is probably better to not "fix" it because the
field would need to be re-defined. On the other hand if that field will never
be used to store other than Integers, the field is not defined correctly in
the first place.
Hope this is useful |:>)
