Subject:  Converting Variable Files To Fixed
 
I want to convert/copy a variable file to a fixed file.
 
All of the records on the variable file are of the same length.  I want
the
record length of the Fixed file to be set this.
 
Any suggestions please.
 
Well, the $$$ option (unless you already have the product) is <plug> MPEX
</plug>
The latest version has a series of enhancements for the %ALTFILE command
that let you change fixed to variable, variable to fixed, ascii to
binary, and
(if memory serves me) to/from posix "byte" files.
