Is it possible to have fixed width line numbers output in the .tap file? say N0000001 through N9999999
Thanks,

Re: fixed width line numbers?
Yes it is. You would need to modify the LINE_NUMBER var line in the Post Processor.
For most it is set to "VAR LINE_NUMBER = [N|A|N|1.0]" and it would need to be changed to "VAR LINE_NUMBER = [N|A|N|06.0]" where the 6 is the number of digits to output and the 0 before the six says to pad with zeroes rather than the default of spaces.
There is a post processor editing guide on the Help menu and you find more about the variable format from page 12 onwards.
