RE: Copying to a Stream File

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just write the entire data structure of data to the stream file and
concatenate the ~ on to the end of the string.

FFile   IF  E            K   Disk

D myDS         DS        Qualified Inz
D  field1            20A
D  field2            30A
D  field3            30A

D handle       S     10I 0
D rc           S     10I 0
/Free

// psuedo code on the open(). . .
handle = open('/myfile.txt');

Read File;
Dow Not %EOF(File);

  // move the fields from File to myDS right here

  tempData = myDS + '~';
  rc = write(handle: tempData: %Size(tempData));
EndDo;

rc = close(handle);

/End-Free


Hope that helps,
Aaron Bartell

Subject: Copying to a Stream File


I am trying to copy a physical file to a stream file that will be
imported into another system.  This other system cannot accept carriage
returns or line feeds so I have created a physical file with one field
that is defined as 80 characters long.  The data is formatted so that it
is written out to this file as one long string with a '~' separating
each segment.  The problem is that when the last record is written out,
it does not fill the entire 80 characters of the field.  I can not have
anything after the last '~' - no carriage return, no line feed, no eof
terminator, and not even blanks.  Does anyone have a suggestion?
 
Thank you,
Kara
