RE: Tab delimited... again

["John Cunha" <John.Cunha@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matt,
Thanks for answering...
Yes, CPYTOIMPF works... but it does not remove blank space in the
fields. It uses the original field length as the delimiter.
e.g.

Record#
....5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...50...55...60...65 
      1  RS|A|450100010           |45-01-999           |3  |3  |SECONDS

      2  RS|A|450101563           |45-01-999           |3  |3  |NT
T-NECK  
      3  RS|A|450102719           |45-01-999           |3  |4  |LADIES'
W. 
      4  RS|A|450102729           |45-01-999           |3  |3  |NR PRT
MOC 
      5  RS|A|450102784           |45-01-999           |3  |3  |C.E
NATURA 
                       |___  _____|

                           \/  
                        DEAD SPACE
Should look like this

      1  RS|A|450100010|45-01-999|3|3|SECONDS    
      2  RS|A|450101563|45-01-999|3|3|NT T-NECK  
      3  RS|A|450102719|45-01-999|3|4|LADIES' W. 
      4  RS|A|450102729|45-01-999|3|3|NR PRT MOC 
      5  RS|A|450102784|45-01-999|3|3|C.E NATURA

Doesn't CPYTOIMPF do this?

Hello.

I would like to thank Scott Klement [klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx] for the
great help he gave me.

Once again... Thanks Scott!

 

Now my challenge:

We have to send files which "MUST" be tab delimited to a third party
vendor.

We have a way of doing that; however it entails writing separate RPG
programs for every file,

since they all have different record layouts/fields/lengths.

 

Does anyone have or know of a generic utility that can do this for any
file?

 

Thanks for the help!
