FPUTS on a Memo

I am trying to use FPUTS to write out the contents of a memo field to a text
file. For some reason it will only display the first 44 characters. Is
there any way around this? Am I doing something wrong???

Is it a long string? PUTS() cuts off a (mumble-mumble). Try using the
number of characters parameter:

FPUTS(nHandle, cString, LEN(cString))

or:

FPUTS(nHandle, cString, 64000) && up to 64000 chars will be written

how are you using FPUTS() ?
fputs(fh, memofield) ?


do you have to use FPUTS () ?

try using STRTOFILE()

OK I think it's my select sql statement that is cutting it off not the
FPUTS() call. For some reason when I do a select into cursor on a memo it
does not copy the whole memo. How can I get by this?
