Load a single field with NO TRIM of spaces around record

[#1]

Hello !

Have a plain AscII file, variable length records , that I want to load as A SINGLE FIELD (a string with say 80 characters).

Here's a sample of the data :

I need to load this data as A SINGLE FIELD, without trimming spaces around the record.

Say record # 4, it should be loaded as " 16/04/2010 07:29:10 TC00101" , that is, with spaces on the left side as on the original record.

How do I do that ?

Thanks !

By the way, have provided a simple kit file for testing purposes...

Hello, Iam using VERBATIM=1 in a few documents. When using this systemvariable set to 1, will that have any influence on the performance reading very large files ?
