This is default functionality for WebFOCUS.

Assuming that your master file GPRS has a single field FIELD1, that is used to read each line of the XMLS file, then the output size will be No of lines in * FIELD1 usage size.

There are some ways to write out a trimmed line.

My current favourite one is PUTDDREC:

Assuming FIELD1 Usage is A100.

SET &ECHO =ALL;
-SET &LOGDIR = E:\;
-SET &FILE == 'WORKFILE.XML'; 
-SET &WORKDIR =&LOGDIR;
-SET &FILENAME=&FILE;
-SET &FDFILE=&WORKDIR | &FILE;
-SET &OUTRES =&WORKDIR | 'YYRESULT.XML;
-SET &OUTRES='ON TABLE SAVE FILENAME ' | &LOGDIR | 'YYRESULT.XML';
FILEDEF GPRS DISK &FDFILE
FILEDEF XMLOUT DISK &LOGDIR..YYRESULT.XML
TABLE FILE GPRS 
PRINT COMPUTE RETCODE/I3 = PUTDDREC('XMLOUT',6,FIELD1,ARGLEN(100,FIELD1,'I3),RETCODE) ;
ON TABLE HOLD AS OUTRES
END 
-RUN


The function PUTDDREC writes a line to a pre-allocated file (FILEDEF), and the ARGLEN specifies the number of characters to output.


Waz...
