Brad, I know nothing about infotrieve, but why can't you use OPENSEQ and then a READBLK loop? READBLK reads the next N bytes from a file, not caring if there are line delimiters of other strange characters. Regards, Marc
-----Mensaje original----- De: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] En nombre de [email protected] Enviado el: miércoles, 12 de diciembre de 2012 18:19 Para: U2 Users List Asunto: [U2] Stripping line breaks from InfoTrieve output I'm guessing it doesn't matter if this is UD or UV, but I have UD7.1 under AIX. We have a request to extract some data to what I call a tape file. The data is fixed length and there are no line breaks. Just one continuous stream of data. My thought is that this could be accomplished with an InfoTrieve using 'list TO' as in list AGREEMENT F1 F2 TO file.txt There is of course more to it than this, but if I can strip out whatever creates the line break, I think I can do what I need. So my question to the group is: what character(s) are create the new line when ouptutted from an InfoTrieve? Has anyone done this before? I'm thinking I'd used tr or sed to clean things up.
