"Orchadmin dump" copies a datset to a sequential file. However, the problem is, by default, it puts a space after every field. Is there any way to adoid that? I would like to copy a dataset to a sequential file as is, that is, the length of all columns should be exactly the same in the dataset as in the sequential file.
I can't recall, but I'm sure it is in the documentation somewhere. I don't have any pdf's available on this pc, but if it isn't in the advanced programmer's guide then it might be found in the original orchestrate documentation.

-delim 'string' Use the string 'string' as a delimiter on top-level fields. Other possible values for this are: nl (newline), tab, and space. The default is a space character.
However, why don't you try Peek stage since this command is almost identical to the peek operator in a data flow.
