Using dbcopy from 3k to extract Image files to a fixed length ascii
file.

I'm obviously missing something basic, the steps I have taken are,

Build a file with
BUILD VASS;REC=-45,1,F,ASCII;DISC=100
Run dbcopy.data.threek
To file name !VASS

It keeps placing $ at various intervals, see example below..
T-P1              A         ECO-MA1   $>
Y-1                                   $N

Have tried an ODBC extract and the file comes out clean.
T-P1              A         ECO-MA1   9278
Y-1                                                  9294
however I need the HP3000 to do the work..

Be as brutal as you like if it gets the message over
