I have tried everything from RTRIM to selecting the SUBSTR of the LENGTH to achieve the following output:
10~FIELD2~~SOME TEXT
101~FIELD2~EXTRA INFO~SOME MORE TEXT
1~FIELD2~INFO~LITTLE TEXT
I keep getting:
10 FIELD2 SOME TEXT 101 FIELD2 EXTRA INFO SOME MORE TEXT 1 FIELD2 INFO LITTLE TEXT
I do not what fixed length records. I need variable length records. How do I do this? Received on Thu Jan 23 1997 - 00:00:00 CET
