I'm working with the High Performance Loader, atttempting to unload
a table into a fixed format file. It needs to be fixed format because that
is the requirement of the program that will use the unloaded data file.
Using HPL, I have been able to produce a file with all the records in
the table, but I have not been able to insert a newline character so
that each record is separated. I have incorporated a dummy column
at the end of the unload format definition to hold the newline character,
but my attempts to get a newline character into that field have been
unsuccessful. I have scoured the HPL doco for clearer examples, to
no avail. This seems like it would be a pretty straightforward thing to
do, so I'm expecting to feel foolish when I find out what needs to be
done.
If anyone has any ideas, your help would be appreciated.
