| subject: | ISAM variable-length demark? |
Hi Mike, Replying to a message of Mike Luther to All: [snip] ML> What record demark character (group) would be a good choice to use to ML> break up the record parade so that I can brute force the file to ML> reconstruct the keys? Good ISAM systems do not use demarcation characters to delimit records. If the records can be varying length they use a length prefix, typically a 16-bit or 32-bit binary integer. I would recommend same. Regards Dave --- FleetStreet 1.25.1* Origin: My other computer is an IBM S/390 (2:257/609.5) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 257/609 255/90 140/1 106/2000 633/267 |
