Re: Q: record lenght as variable

[Dave Thelen <ddthelen@SBBSNET.NET>]

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you looking for but this has been our
approach.  I have setup some common I/O routines in an sqc and use the
following open statement.  I also have similar code in procedures  to
read/write records in the save sqc.
      open $file as 1 for-reading record={rec_length_input}:vary
status=#filestat
I let the calling sqr's determine the record length through #define  i.e.
#define rec_length_input 88
