Alteryx is saving two files when I try to output one ASCII flat file

SergeantJack

I have finished my workflow, and it's time to output the data as a flat ASCII text file.  I have generated the file name successfully, with the desired file extension of .z01.  Alteryx saves this correctly, but also generates a FLAT file with the same file name.  This FLAT file seems to contain metadata about the output Alteryx just generated.  How do I get Alteryx to stop generating this FLAT file?  It will seriously mess up my operations to have extra files in the target folder.

Try using the output format CSV, with delimiter \0    (no delimiter)
