In my actual scenario there are 37 fields for 25 different files so i need to check the position and length for each field. Hence i thought that if i directly use BULID no need to calculate the next position of the field so it will reduce some effort as i have to code the same for 25 files (37 to 41 fields each).

If any option is there in BUILD to align the numbers (LEFT) please suggest how to proceed......

Hello,

Rather than dragging this on and on, suggest you either use the provided solution or start writing a program that will do what you want.

Sometimes, one just has to do a bit of typing/cloning.

Someone may have an alternate suggestion that will relieve you of the effort, but in the meantime, it would probably be better to make some progress.
