The problem is that when you do the conversion from COBOL to an ASCII fixed file the endof record character is not there, (the carriage return character), make
sure that when you export your file from COBOL to an ASCII fixed length file
the end of record (not eof()) is there, otherwise It looks like you are exporting
a file to be used in an UNIX enviroment.

Or else you will have to use the low level FREAD AND FPTUS functions

Do you know the record length of the file???
