PH and text files

[Robert Edis]

G'day Aci

Reading a variable length file with Quiz is not
normally any problam at all on OpenVMS.  However Quiz
does not know how to parse the fields using delimiters
unless you define the record in a dictionary.

If you don't want to modify your existing PHD or
create a new, perhaps temporary one, by creating a
specific file/record entry with field details you can
create/use a simple file/record entry in the PHD that
shows the records as having only one field.  You then
need to write field parsing logic in the Quiz code
itself.
