R: Using generic program to read multiple file formats -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

I'm not shure to really help you, but in the past i made a COBOL program
which initialized packed fields. Such a program:
** was indipendent from the structure of the real file (and from its length
too, of course)
** it did DSPFFD *OUTFILE (using qtemp) to get the structure of the file in
order to correctly process it. 
I hope this will help you. Regards.
