VMS quesion DO BLOB

[Peter Bateman]

Hi Harold:

   If you want to store a PDF file I would think you would have
   to use an editor that can handle binary data perhaps EDIT/TPU.
   $def PH_BLOBEDIT EDIT/TPU

   I have converted a CR  delimited text file (CR_FILE)
   into a fixed length file by inputting the CR_FILE
   into QUICK's standard input.  The CR delimited data filled a
   multiline field in the fixed length record file. The screen used the  
AUTOUPDATE feature.

   It went something like:-
   SCREEN XXX AUTOUPDATE
   FILE XFIXED
   FIELD  FMULTI FOR 9,60
   PROCEDURE INITIALIZE
     PUSH ENTRY
   BUILD

   $QUICK auto=XXX term=VT100 < CR_FILE
   I have not tried this is VMS but it seemed to work on XP.
Regards,
Peter Bateman
