Hi Team,
 
Using below link i have generated the .txt file.
 
If there is no data in file 0 should come.
 
Please let me know how zero will come instead of blank.
I have the same question (0)

    It's sounds simple - replace empty strings with '0' before calling TextStreamIo.write().

    You provide values and call write() method at line 24.

    Hi, You can set value zero if field value is blank but you need to add it in String as all your fields are string fields.
     
    while select custTable
{

  if (!custTable.custGroup)
  {
      custTable.custGroup = "0";
  }
}

    For example: 
    private str zeroIfEmpty(str _input)
{
    return _input ? _input : '0';
}

...
io.write(... this.zeroIfEmpty(custTable.CustGroup)));
