Valid File Line Minimum Position

Definition

Specifies the minimum number of positions (inclusive) a listing line must have in order to be considered as a possible valid file name line.

Required Values

For a Fixed list line format, enter a value equal to the number of columns, counting the first column at the far left as column 1. For a Blank Delimited list line format, enter a value equal to the number of fields, counting the first field on the far left as field 1.

For either case, if no minimum can be determined, set this value to zero (0).

Additional Information

For example, in the Blank Delimited line below, the minimum number of fields is 9:
