How can I export direct debit collection in fixed width (not XML)

(0) ShareShare

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can produce a direct debit export file in fixed width format?  Whatever I try produces XML.  For clarification, I'm in Great Britain.

Here's my Data Exchange Definition:

The only thing I can think of would be the processing XMLport on the Bank Export/Import Setup but the only one the system will let me use is 1010 (SEPA DD pain.008.001.02).

I've tried duplicating the 1010 XMLport and changing the FormatEvaluate property from Xml to Legacy, and also adding a Format property to FixedText but it's still producing an XML file.

I've produced fixed width files for payment exports before but this is the first time I've tried it for direct debit collections and I'm stumped.

If anyone has any advice, it would be much appreciated. 

(Please don't advise me to raise a ticket with our partner as some people feel the need to do, you're adding no value as I've already done this!)
