I have a cobol program that will do this (tab delimited though).  It gets the
field sizes from the 1st record in the data file and then builds a temp file
with the fixed length fields.  We deal with multiple tab delimited files where
we add the field size definition record to the datafile and the conversion
works perfectly...

If you would like the source, let me know and I'll send it to you.

I am looking for a utility or some code that will run on a HP3000 that will
convert a CSV formatted file that originated on a PC and has been
transferred to the HP3000 into fixed width fields in a fixed length record.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks a million!
