Re: Getting an entire record as a character string

Sounds like an externally defined data structure would work.

I'm putting together a "preload" program to generate
records in one file by riding "The Cycle" through another

for cycle control, and it's externally-described.

The target file has a field that takes a complete image of
the source record (as well as a number of fields that get
populated from individual fields in the source record). Is
there an easy way I can access the source record both as
its individual fields and as one big character string?
