Sesame stores numbers as actual numbers. Numbers are stored with precision, which means decimal places. It is on our list for future versions to increase the exporting options to respect output formats, so that you can increase your control over exported data. At the moment, however, data is exported raw.

If the need is immediate and the program into which you import the data cannot format your data as you wish, you can create a Text field and use programming to set it's value equal to your Number field, formatted however you like.

As to your printing issues, tools like PrintString are quite powerful. If you post specific questions, we'll try to help. I looked at your past posts. Your questions have regarded specialty items like Keyword reports and hanging indents, neither of which are "simple" requirements. Do want to post some of the simple printing issues you are having, so we can try to help you out?   

Beyond using the file I/O commands to open a file, it is also possible and useful to use them to open devices like PRN:, LPT1:, CON:, etc... In fact you can even use them to send the printer device codes - just like in Q&A.
