maximum dummy field length

[Dennis Malen]

This is not set: PFIMPBUF=2400

In addition we exported pra(1) to notepad and the information was also not 
present and cut off at 2399. So it seems it is not the length of the dummy 
field as the ascii import is not bring the information in.

Is it a limitation of the imprt file???
