Hi.
How about this:


[pre]
proc export data=sashelp.class outfile='c:\class.txt' dbms=tab replace;
putnames=no;
run;
[/pre]

The option putnames=no don't run.
I read previous forum posting.

In the end I use

data _null_;
set db ;
file "P:\Risk Management\MORTGAGE\.........";
put (_all_) (:);run;


Thanks !!

Do you test it by yourself.
I test it successfully in my SAS 9.2
