Indeed it can.  This is the program I had in mind when I mentioned "code
in the dUFLP" in my fist message.  It handles changing the separator,
includes memo fields, excludes _dbaselock fields as well as OLR and
BINARY fields and can include fieldnames as the first record of the
output file.   The only thing it can't do (at the moment :-) ) is change
the delimiter.

As Tom is happy with the yyyymmdd date format in the output file all it
needs is possibly a slight change to invoke a different delimiter and a
simple wrapper to accept a .dbf name so that it can create a rowset to
pass to usvout.prg.

If the daily .dbf is named using a recognisable pattern it will be easy
enough to check if a similar output file has been produced and, if not,
to create it.
