Creating Fixed Lenth PC format (.txt) file

["Joe Giusto II \(E-mail\)" <juicenetdps@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been asked to create an ASCII file with a fixed length format
containing CR/LF.
I created the physical file and extracted the records needed, then used
CPYTOPCD to get the file to a folder in QDLS.
The CR/LF is being created by the CPYTOPCD command, however, when the last
field is not filled, the CR/LF is put after the last non-blank character in
the field instead of after the end of the field length.  (i.e. 30 byte field
is only being filled with 15 or less bytes, but the target system is
expecting the extra spaces before the CR/LF).

My question is how can I force the extra spaces at the end of the ASCII
record when the field is not full.
