Flat file creation problem

[Bruce Weinstein <bruceweinstein@CANADA.COM>]

Does anyone know how to insure that records created in a .lis file
from an SQR is of a certain length?  Because the last field being
written out to the .lis file is a description, the record lengths in
the .lis file vary depending on the length of the description.
I can insure the record lengths by "opening" a file in the SQR and
"writing" to this file, but I need it to work via the .lis route using
the print command.  The command I'm using is as follows

"print $output_buff (1,1,1043)"

If $output_buff is 10  characters then the record length is 10
If $output_buff is 500 characters then the record length is 500
