1) Use one of the following two lines - the 2nd (MODE) if you have repeatable subfields:

'"',v10,'","',v20,'"'/ 
mhl,'"',v10,'","',v20,'"'/

2) Save this format and use it to print to a file through the standard PRINT option (Menu database -> print)

3) Choose “Output to: ASCII file (Windows)” and select the correct print format from the list. Then click “Print”.

4) Give a name to the TXT file and click OK.

5) Either:

A) Run MS Excel and open the TXT file. Then import the data from Excel to SQL Server, OR

B) Load the flat file directly into SQL Server
