Subject:      exporting to text file without quotes
Content-Type: text/plain

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!
