Is it possible to remove the binary values that prefix the output of teradata fexp?
<p>I am trying to run teradata <code>fexp</code> with a simple sql script.</p>

<p>The select output column is a string expression and as such results in 2 extra length indicator bytes at the start of each row output.</p>

<p>I have searched for solutions online to the problem. I would like to avoid having to post-process if possible.</p>

<p>There is a thread suggesting the possibility of using an OUTMOD. I don't know what that is.

<p>And yet another thread suggests casting to a fixed width string type but this would result in padding which I'd like to avoid.

<p>The desired output is actually a delimited plain text file. Is there a way to do it?</p>
