The resulting length of each data entity in a UNIX target file equals the maximum record length minus three bytes (minus four for the RL, plus one for the delimiter). The resulting length of each data entity in a Windows 2000/2003/Windows NT target file equals the maximum record length minus two bytes (minus four for the RL, plus two for the delimiter).
