Hi David, There is no built in tool for fix length records. If I am importing the data once or just a few time I use M$ Access, just setup an ODBC connection and use the import facility in Access to bring the file in (it's very easy). Where I have to do this automaticaly I have written perl programs that parse the incoming data and build insert statements.
Hope this helps, Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Yee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 6:49 PM Subject: Importing fixed-length records > Hi.
