The file has multiple record types and I am creating it using WRITE statements. The problem is that when I create the Trailer record R:Base is automatically adding the CRLF to the end. This creates another record in the file and we have to manually remove the last 2 characters in the file. I need a technique for creating this last record without a CRLF on the end.
