The SPACE Function Takes Up a Lot of Space
Hey, Ted:

I have to build a file for input to another system. All fields are fixed-length, and numeric values are to be edited and right-adjusted. SQL's CHAR function takes care of the editing requirement, but the result is left-adjusted. How do I right-adjust an edited numeric value? Or will I have to rewrite my program using native I/O operations? READ MORE >

Once I get the files to the AS/400, I'd like to combine them into one file that's simply called ABCFILE. Got any ideas? READ MORE >
