OK, there's a demo of this on Hobbes. It was sufficiently capable to
allow me to figure out what you were doing wrong.

If you mean from the command line, it's there. You need to use the built
in REXX interface and pass the REXX script name on the command line. See
the online help.

I can duplicate this and fix it too, which is even better. The help does
not quite match what the app really requires. You must define a header
file to tell omnifile which fields to export. If leave the header file
entry field blank, omnifile fails to complain and you get no records in
your output file. Stupid programmer tricks and all that kind of stuff.
I created a header file for the Individuals item type containing the line
Id,First Name,Last Name
and the Ascii Export exports the expected records with the expected
content.
You'll need to build a header file for each item type you want to export.
Have fun,
Steven
