Hello Guys,

Im having a funny problem: I read a 6 byte lenght file and need to put it in a 150 byte file with the first 6 byte as I have and "blank" until the end.

Obviusly I can use something like
Code:

BUILD(1,6,'       150 blank  ')


but repating 150 blank is not so easy...

Probably is simple to solve, do you know how to tell to ICETOOL to repeat 150 blanks?

Bye Max
