Hello All,
We have a program that reads in files that are 256 Fixed ASCII. Unfortunately,
the files I need it to read are bytestream. Assuming the records of the
bytestream files never exceed 256 characters in length, what is the simplest
(scriptable) way of convert files from bytestream to 256 Fixed ascii in mass
quantity?
Thanks,
Pete
