I can't remember whether this is doable or not but are you sure that this is even going to be practical Michael? You won't be able to increase or decrease the size of any field even if you can do an in-situ.

I need to update data in a stream file located in ths IFS (or on a QNTC
share). I know I can read the data from the file, and then write to another
file, and then delete/rename I guess, but I want to update in place. I
don't want to use any procedures that add a CRLF. I'm thinking of using
read() and write(), but I'm not sure how to handle the update. Probably
pretty simple. Thanks!
