Is there a way to export data from Rbase in a fixed field position format?
I remember in the 'ole days, RBDOS 4.5Plus had a Fixed format export in Gateway where you would place [S]tart and [E]nd markers for the specified fields. Never thought I would need this functionality again, BUT a customer needs to supply accounting information to a customer on a regular basis in this format. Looks like they are planning on importing this into some COBOL program based on the sample format they provided. Any recommendations on how I might be able to accomplish this would be appreciated.
