Export to fixed length field format

Question

Sometimes we need to export records from our student system as fixed length text file to integrate with other software.
Basically the report will only contains  rows of records, But we want to export it to fixed length field text file.
And then automate the process.
We also have Crystal enterprise server.  What is the easy and best way to accomplish this?
Thanks

Sorry.  Please ignore my last message.  It went into the wrong thread. 
There is one huge problem with exporting to Fixed Length in 8.5.  The Fixed Length will truncate any trailing white space.  So if you have a could that's 5 characters long but the current value is only 3, it will only be 3 characters long. 
To get around this, I've had to create a formula for each column in the report and check the lenght of the field and pad or truncated accordingly. 
For example:
If Length ({Table.FIELD1}) > 10 Then
     {Table.FIELD1} [1 to 10]
Else {Table.FIELD1} & ReplicateString ("*", (10 - Length ({Table.FIELD1}));
So this column should be 10 characters long.  If the field is longer than 10 characters it will truncate it to 10, otherwise it will pad the extra spaces with *.  You can't use spaces to pad because the export driver will truncate them so I decided * were the best choice because for my purposes I knew that character would never be used. 
Good luck,
