That ran(I am on Solaris), but something still isn't quite right. The record length before adding the date is fixed 750 characters. I need the date added to every line, including the header, to making each record 758 characters fixed. Below is the beginning and end of the record of the first few lines in the file. You can see the date is not added to the beginning of the header record, which throws off the record length/wrapping of all subsequent records. The 'X' indicates the end of the record and should be in position 758 with the date added. Then each record after the header should start '20110705EB'. I can also see the 20110705 date added to each record(except the header), but it seems to be added somewhere in the middle of the record.
I have a flat file and need to count no of records in the file less the header and the trailer record.
I would appreciate any and all asistance
Thanks

px_put_recordn
PX_PUT_RECORDN(3) Library Functions Manual PX_PUT_RECORDN(3)NAME
PX_put_recordn -- Stores record in Paradox file at certain position
SYNOPSIS
#include <paradox.h>
int PX_put_recordn(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, char *data, int recpos)
DESCRIPTION
Stores a record in the buffer data into a Paradox file at the given position recpos. The first position has number 0. The function will
determine the data block for this record. If the position is after the last data block, then as many as needed empty data blocks will be
added. If the position is in the middle of a data block and there is no record right before the position, then the position will be recal-
culated to make sure the new record will be stored in the first free slot of the datablock. For example, if a datablock contains H records
and the first call of PX_put_recordn wants to store a record at postion 11, then this will be corrected to position H. PX_put_recordn will
also add an empty data block and store the record as the first record of the second data block. Storing a second record at position 11
again, will be executed without any position change.
data must be constructed with PX_put_data_xxx(3) functions before. It is of the same structure as the record returned by PX_get_record(3)
and PX_get_record2(3).
RETURN VALUE
Returns the record position on success and -1 on failure. The first position has number 0.
