I think I got it right the first time. When the OP wrote "edit each record that has a 'Y' in the 107th position", I guessed the positions started from one, which is the way awk does it. But I stand by my blank string: You want to leave the Y where it is, i.e., you keep characters 1..96, change 97..106 to blanks, then keep 107..end. Char 107 is the "Y" which is left intact. But if the OP's count starts from zero, then all the positions get adjusted by one.
