public:
 override int inRecordLength();
public override int inRecordLength ();
override this.inRecordLength : unit -> int
Public Overrides Function inRecordLength () As Integer

Returns

The number of characters to read for each record in the file.

Remarks

For files that have a fixed-length format, use the inRecordLength property to guarantee that no more than the specified number of characters are read for each record. If the record format is overruled by a specified inRecordDelimiter property value , that is the inRecordDelimiter value is met before the fixed length is read, the record is accepted, and no additional data is read. To ensure that a fixed number of characters are read, set the inRecordDelimiter property value to an empty string. When no inRecordDelimiter property value is found, the inRecordDelimiter property value is the maximum limit of characters to read. Set the inRecordDelimiter property value to zero to disable the record length check.
