Re: How to write fixed length records to file.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The pattern is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
i.e. all records of one length are written, then the records of the second
length. . . .

****What is the proper method for writing 2 different sets of fixed
length
records to the same file? ****
i.e. write record of length 100: write record of length 80

How about using 2 files?

Will other output methods work? I'm dealing with defined length fields
comprising each record. I don't have allowance for line feed characters
or
quotation marks such as generated by the Write function.

Did you try using a third type that is a combination of the two other
types?

If you're only writing one record of each, you should be able to use a
file
opened for Binary as you indicated. If you're always writing both types
(ABABABAB) then a third type may be needed. If you're mixing them up,
then you really need to rethink the problem... :-)
