RE: Tab delimited... again

   Here's something I found on DBG/400.  I think you have to install DBG/400,
   but it looks like a good file editor.   It's got some commands you need to
   remove the blanks from the file.

   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

   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
   Regards,

   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!
