Nevermind folks....I figured I had to recreate the file...it was easier since I didn't have to worry about the data within the file - I had the user resend it.

Thanks!

Subject: Changing the Size of a Field

Happy Friday all!

I have a quick question to which the answer is currently eluding me....

We had a user FTP us a file that did not exist on our server. Thus, the system created the file and populated it with data. However, the user did not set the record length of the file and by default it created it at 512bytes. However, I need the file to be 400bytes wide. Can someone remind me how I change the file's record length to be 400bytes?

Thanks!
