Hi I am trying to write record into a file which has a single field which is 256 Alpha(this is used later as a program described file and the corresponding field information will be retrieved). I want to have this field populated with Alpha & Packed fields. I am trying to do it through Power Builder. Since PB doesnot support packed number, I am not able to do this. eg : For 7 long date field, the packed record format will have only 4 spaces to store it. I can't use the whole 7 digit as it will give error when I use it as program described file. Can some body help to find a way out of this. Thank You Cham
