I have a request to create an ascii file for a customer of ours. �The reqirement
is for fixed length fields (therefore records) with comma delimeters for (EOR).
As far as I can tell this runs against the intent of any of the CPY to commands.
Am I correct here?

Essentially, the customer is looking for a file to look something like this:

Record1,Record2,Record3, Record4, Record5, Record6

So, 1.) am I correct in believing that fixed length and comma delimited are
almost contrary terms? and 2.) any ideas on how to accomplish this? �Thanks.
