      One way i would advice is to declare a text variable and move values using offset.

      Eg:
  move: <struc>-fld1 to l_text(8),
        <struc>-fld2 to l_text+8(3),
        <struc>-fld3 to l_text+11(15).
  transfer l_text to <file>.

      Try this approch and see the result.

      Kind Regards
