Can I use Vrecgen for fixed length files?

Problem:

No. The purpose of Vrecgen is to build a RDW for the PC and track each record's length. Since a fixed length file will not have a RDW, the program will back up into the previous record and use that value as a length.  The output would get corrupted real fast.
