Subject: [Download-List] Download a null

I have two situations in which I need a little nudge:

1)  I need to download basically a null field into a comma delimited
file (i.e. xxx,,,xxx)) where the information between the commas is null,
has no value.  I do not know how to build my idescriptor to do this.

Use EVAL:

EVAL "''"

2)  Also, when downloading to a comma delimited file, I remember
something about being able to remove the quotes but I can't find that
reference.  Can anyone help with that.

QUOTE.CHAR ""

E.G.:
DOWNLOAD PERSON FIRST.NAME LAST.NAME QUOTE.CHAR ""


Putting it all together:

DOWNLOAD PERSON FIRST.NAME EVAL "''" LAST.NAME QUOTE.CHAR ""



Thanks for any help and have a GREAT day!
