After I write floating point data to a TEXT format file why does the data look wrong when inspected in the editor ?
Unreadable data in a TEXT file is unexpected. TEXT files should be used only when reading or writing character data, not binary data. Binary data such as numbers and dates are not implicitly converted by Warehouse. If you need to include binary data in a TEXT file, consider using the CONVERT or STRING functions to convert all binary data to ASCII before writing it out.
