How do you export data to ascii or Dbase that includes the column headers in the export.

Assuming you're using the ARev Export utilities:
The DBase export should create a dictionary schema in the DBF file. Column names should be limited to 8 characters.
There's no way to export column headings AFIAK using the ASCII Export utility. I modified the ASCII export routine included in the REVSOURCE file to do this. I don't think REVSOURCE was released for v3.12 but I took an earlier version from from 2.1x or 3.0. There were some changes in v3.12 but they were minor. Note: if you are creating a CSV record the column headers should be unique or the CSV import might fail (application dependent).
Some people set the printer page length to whatever max ARev will take and just PDISK an RLIST report to disk and import it in using fixed length columns.

I market the EXPORTR software to export to Ascii CSV with the first record containing column headers. Column headers are in the format F1_COMPANY_NAME with F1 being the field number(K0,K1 etc. for keys) followed by the dictionary item name.
