Control Characters in Export

[s***@stevefitzgerald.net]

I'm exporting a flat file from Infomaker 11.5.1. There is a control
character  being inserted before the first field. When I use
version 8.5 I don't get the same control character. This is preventing
my flat file from being imported properly into a third party app.

Any ideas on how to prevent this control character from being created?

How are you creating the file? When saving the file are you selecting ANSI
as the format? It looks like you are using a Unicode format.

We've tried all of the encoding methods with the same result. More
information...

When we look at the file through SQLPLUS and use cat -v we see the
following:

M-oM-;M-?

Does this mean anything to anyone?

I checked and when you save as text and select ANSI/DBCS as the format it
does not add those control characters. The other formats add hex characters
FE/FF or FF/FE.
