Macro Print to file limited the no of character in a row?

I'm trying to output the contents of the cells in Excel to a txt file with
the Print # method. But the result is the output is divided into 3 lines. I
wonder if there is a limit of the no. of character allowed in the txt file
when using Print # method. The following is my code:

Print #FNum, vIER; Tab(7); vLPAR; Tab(17); vCHL; Tab(37); vMQM; Tab(49);
vTYP; Tab(57); vEXT; Tab(58); vOCL; Tab(1058); vOSC; Tab(2058); vEDATE;
Tab(2088); vTDATE; Tab(2118); vHDATE; Tab(2148); vJDATE; Tab(2178); vSTAT

Is there any way to print all the contents in a single row? I know it's a
bit too long (more than 2000 chars), but I have to upload the txt file into
the AS/400 Database file which I have to get all the data align with the
predefined format of the table.

Thanks in advance!!

Take a look at VBA's help for Tab. You'll see that it uses the "Width #"
statement. Since Width is limited to 255, I think you should just drop Tab()
and use Space().

Print #FNum, vIER; space(7); vLPAR; space(17);.......
