Use sed to delete a character
I built a 12 million record file and made a mistake, one field is 1 character too long.
The record is 40 bytes and ends always in 999. I am trying to delete the 37 character in each record. Is this possible without doing a cut and paste.

px_put_data_bytes
PX_PUT_DATA_BYTES(3) Library Functions Manual PX_PUT_DATA_BYTES(3)
NAME
PX_put_data_bytes -- Put value into a bytes data field
SYNOPSIS
#include <paradox.h>
void PX_put_data_bytes(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, char *data, int len, char *value)
DESCRIPTION
Simply copies a sequence of bytes into a data field as it stored in the database file. You should use this function instead of accessing
the record data directly.
data points to start of the data field in the record. It must be calculated by summing up all field length before the field to operate on
and add it to the base pointer of the record.
This function is similar to PX_put_data_alpha(3) without recoding. It is mostly used to store field data of Type pxfBytes.

PX_put_data_byte(3), PX_put_data_short(3), PX_put_data_long(3), PX_put_data_double(3), PX_put_data_alpha(3)
