I just needed to do this, and thought it would be a good topic to bring over from the old forums.

Assuming you are exporting a csv (comma delimited file) you can add the following perform logic to one of the data elements on "BEFORE ASSIGN"
Just save this in a text file in your ../mas90/vi directory named something like: export_headers.pl and then on the data tab select a field click the perform logic button and put ../vi/export_headers.pl in the perform logic command on BEFORE ASSIGN. It shouldn't matter which field - I had put it on the last one in the list and it worked OK for me.
