True. I don't think it would let me substring it into a packed field, so I'd still have to do the conversion manually.

Justin,
You could create a DDS-based Logical File ("view") over a (so-called) "flat file" PF ...
Define each "field" as a "substring" of the one-and-only "field" in the physical file record, e.g.:
A CUSNBR S I SST(CUSDTA 1 10) A COLHDG('Customer' ' 'Number')
A TEXT('Customer Number')
A CUSNAM A I SST(CUSDTA 11 15) A COLHDG('Customer' ' 'Name')
A TEXT('Customer Name')
...
HTH,
Mark S. Waterbury

Chuck Pence-I don't know what IDDU is. WRKQRY doesn't show human-readable, so I guess it's not set up. I'll have to Google IDDU.
