Hi Stacy

I tested the export in my MSWindows build and it works when the export from
the GUI is used. (File | Export)  I get the whole output in a text file.

EXPORT OUTFILE='O:\2016 Jobs\305616\tabulation\305616layout.txt'
  /TYPE=TXT
EXECUTE.

Gives an error in the output window. /TYPE=TXT is not possible. Besides I
don't think this is the command you are looking for.

PRINT OUTFILE='O:\2016 Jobs\305616\tabulation\305616layout.txt'

Gives no error in the output window and an empty file. I would say that is
a bug.

PRINT OUTFILE='O:\2016 Jobs\305616\tabulation\305616layout.txt'  TABLE /ALL.

Gives output in the output window and an empty file. I would say that is a
bug.

Have fun
