List, I'm trying to create flat file to transfer information out of the 400. I am moving the original file into a 1024 field in a file: A R FEXPORT A DATA 1024 My source file is (WITH MY EXPECTED FIXED FILE POSITIONS) A WOPER 6 (POS 1-6) A WOUOM 3 (POS 7-9) A WOBCDE 4 (POS 10-13) A WOCSR 12 (POS 14-25) A WOCRCY 5 (POS 26-30) A WOFILL 10 (POS 31-40) A WOSOLD 10 (POS 41-50) A WOAMT1 14 4 (POS 51-65 WITH 1 DECIMAL) A WOAMT2 14 4 (POS 66-80 WITH 1 DECIMAL) ... My CPYTOSTMF is as follows: CPYTOIMPF FROMFILE(ORD) TOFILE(EXPORT) MBROPT(*REPLACE) DTAFMT(*FIXED) The first 7 fields start and stop where I would expect them to in the flat file. However, the decimal data adds two trailing spaces in the data (I have allocated 15 spaces -- one for the decimal). But the trailing spaces cause major problems as they compound across the fields. Example below: ....+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7.. DATA 200312EA RABTKSTEVE USA 071230005064.0000 .0000 ^-CORRECT ^^---- WHY? How can I get rid of these trailing spaces? Thanks! Pat
