Fixed-Length Text File Generator Task

Use the Fixed-Length Text File Generator Task to define and write to a text file made up of fixed-length fields.

The data in a fixed-length text file appears in a specific order in fields of fixed length. Unused space within a field, string or numeric, is right-padded with spaces.

Fixed-length text files are used by some mainframe-based applications.
