I have a need to export sales order information into 1 file where the sales header information is on one line and then the sales line information would be on the following lines., something like this:
/SH/,/2016981433/,/12345678/,/JOAN HARRY/,/5050 Road N/,//,/Waterloo/,/ON/,/N1N 1N1/,/CA/,//,/555-666-7777/,/JOAN HARRY/,/5050 Road N/,//,/Waterloo/,/ON/,/N1N 1N1/,/CA/,/Ground/,/P/,//,/2020-03-07T00:00:00Z/,/AMZ/,///SL/,/2016981433/,/1/,/13358A/,/16/,/0.00//SL/,/2016981433/,/2/,/2564A/,/6/,/0.00//SL/,/2016981433/,/3/,/568955/,/6/,/0.00//SL/,/2016981433/,/4/,/5666/,/6/,/0.00//SL/,/2016981433/,/5/,/5665/,/4/,/0.00/
 
has anyone done something similar or seen anything like this? Is it even possible?

    There are many ways to do that in Business Central.
    The easiest way is probably to use an XML port if you want to do it in the AL language.
    You can also use configuration packages to create an export like that.
    You can also use the CSV,XML og Json buffers if you want a more standard format for your data.

    Thanks Inge,
    I have been working on the XML port, what I am trying to figure out is how to do one XMLPort where the first line is the header information, and then the next 3 lines would be the 3 items on the sales order, then the next line would be the next sales header and then then lines below that etc.
