RE: Assign a Value

You can set up a comma field between each of your data fields.  Assign them
a default value of ','.  When you write to the file the commas will be
written by default.

The fields will still be fixed length however.  This doesn't do any
truncating of the data fields.

Subject:        Assign a Value



Is there a way to assign a value to a field in DDS. For example I have a
client which requires us to seperate our fields by commas. I would like to
code this in the DDS rather than in my pgm-there are over 120 fields. I
would use the values keyword but I think this just allows certain values-not
assign.


Thanks
