Re: Image Plus-WAF/400 Question

Yes, both CPYFRMPCD and RTVDOC will produce a database file. In both cases,
I can see the report data but it is interspersed with hex codes or garbage.
I have found that if I use a file with a record length of 94, the data seems
to line up and there appears to be header and trailor information as well as
a twelve byte field at the beginning of each line.
