Exporting records containing newlines

Hi

I need to be able to export records on multiple lines. For example, I want to create a Unix shell script which requires multiple lines:

/web1/fred -pr <<EOD

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

EOD

The field in the database is the row of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, but it needs the command above and the terminator (EOD) below to work.

As far as I can see, exporting can only create one line per record. (I did try explicitly inserting newline characters in the record, but it did not work properly.)

So, I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to do this.

Thanks

David
