The help says about the EXPORT FORMAT "string": #1 ... #9 will print the value of the corresponding element of the plot function list. I tried to export more then 9 variables to a file using for instance: #x#b#1#b#2#b#3#b#4#b#5#b#6#b#7#b#8#b#9#b#10#b#11 However,the result was: #x#b#1#b#2#b#3#b#4#b#5#b#6#b#7#b#8#b#9#b#1#b#1 (All variables after the ninth row have the same value. And this value is always that of the first row.) If an export is performed without the FORMAT "String" the export owrks right and this does not happen and the number of variables seems to be unlimited. Does that mean that the number of exported variables (per command: EXPORT FORMAT) is limited to maximum 9 variables in this curious way? ...and the user gets no error code or information when exporting ten or more variables? Thanks for helping. Jens   Robert G.

Only #1 to #9 can be explicitly addressed. But you can use #r and #i to repeat a form indefinitely, to export as many values as you want. Your output format would then be #x#r#b#i This will print the value of x followed by a tab-delimited list of any number of values.
