The ctfixed option indicates whether to create fixed record-length files with c-tree file mode ctFIXED. If this option is set to yes, files with fixed record length are created with c-tree file mode ctFIXED. If this option is set to no, all files are created with c-tree file mode ctVLENGTH. This option is disabled by default.
Setting ctfixed to yes imposes a minimum record length of 9 bytes for huge files or 5 bytes for non-huge files (based on the setting of the <hugefile> configuration option).
<ctfixed> and <ctflexrec> are mutually exclusive options and an error is returned when used in combination.
