Hi,

I am a Cobol newby, trying to write a first program which reads in a
textfile, line by line and concatenates the lines to one big string. I
do the following:

------------
string thelongstring delimited by size
       In-Data delimited by size
  into thelongstring
---------------

thelongstring is 32000 bytes long, In-Data is 80 bytes long. It seems
that cobol appends In-Data at the very end of thelongstring, that is
after the last space at position 32000.

Please tell me how it is possible to solve my problem.

Thanks and Kind Regards,
Tobias Neubert
