"FastExport will always write out a 2-byte length in front of all records (especially on non-mainframe platforms; I am not 100% certain whether this is true on mainframe) because FastExport can only retrieve data in one of the supported binary formats"
Happened to stop by here and found the above. This actually depends how you process/treat the selected columns. if you trim - concat - trim and cast to char(not varchar), you CAN remove the length-info of each record.
