I'm trying to generate a text file shaped like a rectangle, where each row is of equal length and includes blank spaces. My aim is to create a rectangle that consists of 3 rows, each with 50 columns. However, I'm encountering an issue where the blank spaces are being truncated in the resulting text file. Does anyone have a reliable method for crafting a rectangular text box that preserves all blank spaces without trimming them?
I am currently
using version X.5 build 10.5.5.20615
clear all var
set var vSpc TEXT = (char(32))
set var vfile text = ('test'+ format(.#date,'_YYYYMMDD')+ '.txt')
SET VAR vline01 TEXT = (SFIL(.vSpc,50))
SET VAR vline02 TEXT = (SFIL(.vSpc,50))
SET VAR vline03 TEXT = (SFIL(.vSpc,50))
set var vline01 = (sput(.vline01, 'DATA',1))
set var vline02 = (sput(.vline02, 'DATA',45))
set var vline03 = (sput(.vline03, 'DATA',30))
set var vifexist integer = (chkfile(.vfile))
if vifexist = 1 then; delete .vfile; endif
output .vfile
WRITE .vline01 USING '%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%'
WRITE .vline02 USING '%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%'
WRITE .vline03 USING '%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%'
output screen
launch .vfile
return
Thank you in advance,
James Kim
