Re: Avoiding CPF2973 and truncation

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank

Are these PFs created without source, otherwise maybe known as flat 
files? Or are there several columns? I wonder, in the latter case, if 
you could maybe use an SQL INSERT to copy the data. You could maybe 
specify the lengths you need.

Just a wild and crazy idea!
