Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Fixed Length file from a SQL script Post 302910073 by ebsus on Tuesday 22nd of July 2014 09:21:45 AM

Hi Robin,

Firstly, i have a SQL script.
I'm doing a "EXPORT TO SL_JUN_07142014.asc of del modified by coldel|" before the SQL script so that, the columns are separated by a "|".
Then since, i'm directing this output to a .out file, it is wrapping each field with double quotes.
The SQL script itself has the lengths needed for each field. I want to retain those lengths; that's all.

Code:
Does your query language support commands such these
SET LINESIZE
COLUMN x FORMAT A20

I'm using DB2 UDB. I'm not sure, i follow your question.

Please let me know if i'm still not making sense.
