Re: Q: record lenght as variable

[Sam Spritzer <SSpritzer@GW.CTG.COM>]

In your setup section, you define the size of the record

#define rec_size1       1000


And then, what you define will get passed as a parameter. 
 
OPEN $output_file as 1 for-writing record = {Rec_Size1}
        status = #filestat1
IF #filestat1 != 0
  SHOW 'Error Opening File: ' $output_file
END-IF

Hope this helps,
Sam

Hello EveryBody ,

I want to pass record lenght of the file as the parameter and to use it in
the "open" statement for file .
I tried using both # and $ variables but got the error opening the file .

Is it possible , first  of all to give variable as record length?
IF yes then how ?

I am using SQR 3 .

Thanks ,
Nitin.
