Does Easytrieve for Unix support Microfocus variable files?

 

Environment

Easytrieve Report Generator, Unix environment

Resolution

Easytrieve for UNIX does not support Micro Focus variable files.

The Micro Focus Variable Length file can either have a 2 byte RDW (record length of <= 4095) or a 4 byte RDW (record length >= 4096).

Unfortunately, there is no compile directive for Easytrieve that will allow programs recognized 2 byte RDW and/or 4 byte RDW.
