Hi

My first posting to this group, hopefully the first of many. This
could be a really helpful source for me :-)

I am creating a script to make a Filemaker 7 Pro database export data
to a CSV file, most of the information will come from existing field
values.

However I would like to know if it is possible to create 'static'
information within the CSV text file, and hopefully some pointers to
how this can be acheived.

Basically 4 lines of the text file will always need to be the same but
do not exist as individual fields in the database.

One approach would be to create a global field which holds the static
text, then export that field along with the others you want to export.
