I'm trying to create some records to exchange data with another vendor's
equipment. The records have fixed field widths. I'm sure that I saw
somewhere that I could do something like:
put "20030501" into character 20 to 27 of myRecord
and if the string wasn't that long (yet), it would pad the string up to
where I was inserting (i.e., char 20). Just playing with this in the
message box (using a global variable to build up the record), it gives
me an error if I try to add characters that are beyond the current end
of the string.
Did I misread something? Do I need to create a string of 396 spaces
(the length of this particular record) first and THEN put the characters in?
Thanks!
Len Morgan
