I have field read_value which has values like:
1727101BDD00BAC20000DD01000002DD0232DD043FDD0542DD0666F4030101F40400F40540F40680F40780F40880F40980F40C0000F40D00F40E00F40F00F4100000F41129F42F09F44927F44A27FD9001FDA10000FDA300FDA45BFDA65B

I want to wrap this field but the wrap does not work because there are no spaces.

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT
SESSION_KEY AS 'Session'
TEST_TYPE AS 'Test,Type'
EXECUTION_SEQUENCE AS 'Execution,Sequence'
MODULE_ID AS 'Module,ID'
MODULE_TITLE AS 'Module,Title'
DATA_READ_NAME AS 'Data,Read Name'
READ_VALUE AS 'Value'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML

There is no fixed pattern of the string, i cannot even use a Delimiter to insert a space using STRREP, Could anyone please suggest a possible work around?

One option is to use a text field and set the length of the field to the desired wrap length:

DEFINE FILE CAR
LONG_TEXT/TX50 WITH COUNTRY = 
'1727101BDD00BAC20000DD01000002DD0232DD043FDD0542DD0666F4030101F40400F40540F40680F40780F40880F40980F40C0000F40D00F40E00F40F00F4100000F41129F42F09F44927F44A27FD9001FDA10000FDA300FDA45BFDA65B';
END
-*
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY LONG_TEXT
END

Hints:

1. investigate the PARAG function

2. Investigate "TEXT" field format
