Help. Reading IFS Files.

["Giri Gopal" <GiriGopal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello:

I have the code to read from IFS which works now. The code below is the read
part. Again this works. But the problem is it reads the length I specify
(BUFLEN of 80 in this sample below). I don't know the length of each record
when I am reading production files. Some records are 80 some are 110 and so
on. How do I read a variable record length from the IFS?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
GG

     C**  READ_IFS   (convert this to buflen = %size(%trim(outrec))
     C**====================================================================
     C     READ_IFS      BEGSR
     C                   Eval      RC = 0
     C                   EVAL      BUFLEN = 80
     C                   DOU       RC <> 0
     C                   EVAL      RC = READ (ERR_FLAG: %ADDR(OUTREC):
BUFLEN)

     C                   IF        RC > 0
     C                   EXSR      WRITEFILE
