Hi,
is there any command/code to convert a comma delimited file into fixed length file?
My file contains amount as well..

Hi meghs,

I'd write a COBOL program and use the UNSTRING verb, something like

UNSTRING record DELIMITED BY ","
INTO field1, field2, field3, field4, field5 etc....
END-UNSTRING

The fields would be part of a fixed file layout so when you write the record out it will be a FB file.

Hopefully this is what you're after.

Cheers
Steve
