Under Unix or Windows environments we have used fast export to generate clean ASCII text by simply casting each column as a char(xx) . This solves the problem of binary data in the fast export file.

For example:

     .EXPORT OUTFILE test.data FORMAT TEXT MODE RECORD;


     SELECT  CAST (T.col1 AS CHAR(03) ),
             CAST (T.col2 AS CHAR(01) ),
             CAST (T.col3 AS CHAR(10) ),

Etc..
