Answer / mvramesh
I will explain this with an example. Lest assume the Maximum record length for VB file is 4000.
For every record you write, Move the actual record length value to RECORD-LENGTH, this would trim off the entire record beyond that length. If the data is populated only till 3000 bytes, move 3000 to RECORD-LENGTH which would trim off the last 1000 bytes.
I hope i answered your question.
