Hi Alan,

I realize that its very popular so I'm trying the 10.2
Trial version to buy later.
My changes/edits have to be done BY COLUMN so i need
to know how to conver the file to columns do the
changes, replaces,etc. then revert back to the
original fixed length flat file.
It seems that neither of the 2 convert options in
COLUMN allow me to do that or am I missing something?
