Re: V5R3 CPYTOIMPF / CPYTOSTMF

I also have had the need for a fix record length file in ASCII format.
Everything I tried truncates the trailing blanks.   I ended up adding a
dummy alpha field to the end of the record with a @ sign in it.   After
pulling the file to the PC, I stripped the @ sign.  I replaced it with ""
{null} being the record into the required length.   I wrote a VB script to
do this, but you could use most any text editor to scan and replace the
character that you use.

Ain't fancy but it got the job done.
