Hi all

I am writing a record to a file in awk using printf.

At the end of the record I need to add 10 occurrences of a 65 character
string that consists of 64 spaces followed by the letter "N".
650 characters in all.

Is there an easy way to code this?
Obviously if it was 650 spaces that would not be a probelm, but I have to
include the "N" characters.

John
