Hi All,

Can anyone tell how to create a Fixed width Field, Character Mode Report with no delimiter between two field.The Output should be a text file.

I need such report to upload the output text file into another system which need a fixed width text file.

Any way will be highly appreciated.

Kumar,
You could do this in a forms application program unit using text_io commands and writing to a text file. Convert any non-character output to text and right pad
(RPAD) each column with with enough blank(s) character(s) to match the maximum field length.
The resulting output will be in fixed length columns.
DBMS output would also be something to consider.
