Writing Text File in Dynamics AX

The function strLfix would be the most likely fix. A similar function strRfix right aligns the text to a specified lenght.
Also remember to set the output field delimiter to the empty string. The default of one blank space is not relevant here.
static void TextIoTest(Args _args)
{
    TextIo f = new TextIo(@"C:\Temp\test.txt", 'w');
    ;
    f.outFieldDelimiter('');
    f.outRecordDelimiter('\r\n');
    f.write(    strLfix("abc",20), '|', strRfix("xyz",15), '|', 117);
    f.writeExp([strLfix("abc",20), '|', strRfix("xyz",15), '|', 117]);
    f.write(); // To force CR NL
}
The job opens the file for writing (truncates existing file or creates a new file), set the field and record delimiters, then writes the same line twice (using two different calls). The last call to write appends the record delimiter, this may or may not be important depending on the receiver.
You can use strrep, substr, and strpoke, please find an example in \Classes\VendOutPaymRecord_UK_BACS\output.

Mark All for Open Cust Trans and Open Vend Trans

We have situations where there are lots of open transactions that need to be settled against each other. This can be the case if auto settlement is turned off. One solution is to add a "Mark All" button to the custOpenTrans or vendOpenTrans forms. This button "checks" the mark checkbox on every line. The user can then uncheck several lines if needed and Update to settle the lines. The code below is an example of what we used on the open vendor transaction screen. The code is very similar on the AR side. One note: I used vendTable.AccountNum in the code below. That should be generalized to work with any buffer that is passed into the open trans form. void customMarkAll() { VendTransOpen localVendTransOpen; VendTrans localVendTrans; container conSum; int linesProcessed; ; //show wait cursor startLengthyOperation(); element.lock(); //remove all prior markings specOffsetVoucher.deleteSpe...
