creating a fixed length output from a variable length input
Is there a command that sets a variable length?
I have a input of a variable length field but my output for that field needs to be set to 32 char. Is there such a command? I am on a sun box running ksh Thanks

Hi,
did not really get what you are looking for. but if you want to trim a particular variable value there are many ways to do it eg output=echo $variable|awk '{substr(startpos,endpos,$0)}' hope this helps
