I thought that too.
Tried that one.
What it actually does is store all the trailing attributes in the "header" and
then append them back to the record when it writes it out.

How about :-
OPEN 'FILENAME' TO FILEVAR ELSE
STOPM 'Cannot open FILENAME'
END
IM REC(500)
ELECT FILEVAR
LOOP
WHILE READNEXT ID
MATREADU REC FROM FILEVAR,ID THEN
MATWRITE REC TO FILEVAR,ID
END
REPEAT
ND
ATWRITE trims trailing blank attributes as it writes the data away
heers,

ubject: [U2] Trim trailing attributes off records
iven that you have a file with thousands of records, each with dozens of
railing attributes which are empty.
How can you pick up the file and drop it back down with all those empties
rimmed off?
