Well, I cannot force QV to not do this. Except by tricking QV into thinking it always does have something to store, like in:

:

if (trim(len(A1&A2&A3)) = 0, 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', A1 & A2 & A3) AS [Loader File]

;

Hi Balram, If it helps I tried using an inserted space as separator and Qv didn't exported it with doublé quotes, if I used a tab character it exports values between double quotes.

Load
 
A1&' '&A2&A3 as [Loader File] //Exports values without double quotes
 
resident Temp;

Load
 
A1&Chr(9)&A2&A3 as [Loader File] //Exports values between double quotes
 
resident Temp;

Maybe the values with double quotes has a tab instead of an space as separator?
