Hi,

I was looking a way to write variable block files in cobol file format(EBCDIC & fixed width). there are no options available in complex flat file stage and in sequential file there is an option when we define the record type as varying & format as VB. However is not able to write the files in the outuput. below is the error message generated.

"impexp/recordstream.C: 2868:FAILURE: Code not yet implemented: Traceback: Could not obtain stack trace that 'dbx' and 'sed' are installed and on your PATH"

I have tried searching but couldn't find anything helpful.

thanks in advance!!

FAILURE: Code not yet implemented. Talk to support, see what is implemented you can use for this.

thanks, I thought I was missing something as I was not able to convince myself that there are options but there isnt any underlying code or operator to do that job. have you implemeneted this?

No, not an Implementer and fresh out of coconuts.

Never had a need to.

Would Kim be distressed if I mentioned the Grand Inquisitor?
