well, i this file what i am taking about has numbers and
chars. i wanted each field to be fixed length. i am not talking
about file length. for example. i have name and account number
filed. name is 50 chars and a/c num is 10. but the data i am
getting is name only 10 chars and a/c num is only 5. now in the
first row i am getting total 15 chars rather than getting 10 + 40
spaces and 5 + 5 spaces. how can i get that. do you know anything
about WDDX DTD. can this be utilized here... thanks for your
help.
