fixed length file & first defined field

[Dennis Malen]

Ken,

After reviewing my last e-mail I want to make sure that it is crystal clear. The fixed length file works perfectly except for the first field which is not retaining the empty spaces. The other fields do retain them.

For example, I added xx(5) which is five empty spaces and put the xx after the first dummy definition of A(10). The xx retains the 5 spaces. If I put the xx before the a(10) then it does not retain the spaces.

The problem is quite clear. The first defined field will not retain the spaces.

You're the man. How do I do it????
