Hello,

To do this in Easytrieve, define the "input" data area as an array of 1-byte items. Then loop thru the input and do whatever is needed for your requirements.

As the loop proceeds thru the input, move the "unstrung" data to fields that are of the needed "picture".

If all of the data positions are fixed (like the posted example data) there is no need to "unstring". A simple redefinition would work.
