Definition
Specifies whether fields in each line are blank delimited or fixed, that is, whether information always appears at certain columns.
Required Values
Blank Delimited or Fixed.
Additional Information
Even though some lines appear to be blank delimited, be wary of certain fields continuing their maximum value when juxtaposed with the next field without any separating blank. In such a case, we recommend you declare the line as “Fixed,” for example:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ed usr 110 Apr 15 13:33 aaa ^^^^^^^^^^ ^ ^^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^ ^^^^^ ^^^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
