Does that field have tabs embedded in it?

Subject: exporting to text file without quotes


hi all,
i'm exporting a dataset to a text file using PROC EXPORT.  there is one
text variable that is exporting with double quotation marks around it.
is it possible to export without those quotation marks?  i need to get
rid of them and i'm not sure how to do it.  i tried the help files and
searched the SAS-L archives, but couldn't find any documentation on
this.  here's my
code:

proc export data=work.export
            outfile = 'C:\CDID\data1.txt'
            dbms=tab replace;
run;

thanks for any help!
