What is Fixed-Width?

Fixed-width is a data storage format where each field or column has a predetermined, fixed length. This means that regardless of the actual data stored in a field, it always occupies the same amount of space. It is commonly used in legacy systems, mainframe environments, and for simplifying data parsing and processing when the data structure is well-defined and consistent.
