Re: Q: record lenght as variable - use Dynamic Substitution of variable

[Manoj Gurjar <mgurjar@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Nitin,

I would do like this (dynamic subtitution) :

! Say you get value of record length in Varible : #my_length

let $my_open_command = 'OPEN $output_file as 1 for-writing record = ' ||
#my_length || ' status = #filestat1 '

! and when you want to open a file with your variable record length
! type as

[$my_open_command]

Hope this Helps,

Manoj
