Re: Flat File Export using Specifications File

I am in version 9.7.2.5.  There is a camera in the lower left but I don't know how to load the specification file from there.  Normally I right-click on the results grid, choose Flat File Export and then load spec file.  

The spec file and the table layout should be the same so it seems like the export using the spec file and the flat file export should be identical but when I compare the exported files the spacing doesn't match between the two.  

I am definitely not a Toad expert so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for your help.
