In a fixed record file, each field is exactly a certain number of characters. Typically, many fixed record length files contains records separated by a linefeed, but there are more advanced options to specify record size in bytes or to span over more than one line with Record is. Information noteIf the data contains multi-byte characters, field breaks can become misaligned as the format is based on a fixed length in bytes.
