I don't know how to do that. Back to your original problem, below is your copy 
statement from Ingres:

copy site(
        sta= varchar(0)tab,
        >
        offdate= varchar(0)tab,
        lat= c0tab,
        lon= c0tab,
        elev= c0tab,
        regist_code= varchar(0)tab,
        vault_cond= varchar(0)tab,
        geology= varchar(0)tab,
        comment= varchar(0)tab,
        initials= varchar(0)tab,
        lddate= c0nl,
        nl= d0nl)
into '/tmp/site.dba' 

According to the information below you should be able to change the varchar 
datatypes to char(0)tab and eliminate the length specifier. Seems this can be 
done for all data types and will produce a file with string representations of 
the data. The  downside is the strings are padded to width of the column.
