Re: Problem with freebcp and fixed text output [NC]

hi,

Acutally I think there is a small issue, one of my teams reported a problem
when bcp in using a format file. I have to look at it as soon as I have
some time.

I think -- I expect! -- that if you install the latest snapshot you'll see
the behavior is corrected.  From ChangeLog:

Fri Jul 10 14:01:28 EDT 2009    JK Lowden <[email protected]>
        * src/dblib/bcp.c pad nullable CHAR written to hostfile.

See the ML discussion around that time.
