Reading Unix files in Quiz/QTP

[Rohde Dirk (Van)]

PowerHouse does not support variable length files.  You need to block them
using the Unix "dd" command as in the following example:

   dd if=var_file.dat of=var_file.conv cbs=80 conv=block

This example assumes a maximum record size of 80.  Change the "cbs"
parameter accordingly.  You would then process the var_file.conv file with
PowerHouse.

Greetings

How can I read the variable length records (LF terminated) in files
created by redirection in HP-UX?

I want to read the output of commands like qshow record zxcvbn > qsfile
into Quiz or QTP.

What file/record/element/item must I define to allow this to happen?
I've tried varchar, freeform, size 1.

Regards

Neil
