You are correct that the Earnings and Deduction codes for Canadian Payroll are stored somwhere in the code 'Series' field. In fact, the same earning/deduction code may not be stored in the same column amongst different employees.

What you have to do is create formulas that use the 'Locate' function; one formula for each specific code. For example, a formula to find the YTD vacation earnings amount would be:

YTD Amount [Locate("VAPE",Code)]

The description of this formula is on page 8-28 of the Quik Reports DOS manual (I'm assuming that this is what you are using).

As for your Export question, are you trying to simply 'Print to File' or are you actually trying to export information in 'record' format? With Quik Reports DOS, you really cannot export more than one section (details, header, footer), so if you attempt to do so, there is no guarantee that it will work. If you edited each section to allow exporting and it did not work, it may be that the setup will not allow exporting of all sections.

Instead of exporting, try changing the WSM print destination to a File, and print that way.
