I have a partner who is sending me a description field in the input file of length 300. I have an internal file format which needs to map the entire descriptioin into 6 lines of 50 each. My internal format can go upto 10 lines of 50 chars each.

The partner can also send me the data of any length.

I would like to use a functional map which would be called for each 50 chars. How can I accomplish this using just one functional map? I dont know how to make the map be called more than just once. the first time 50 chars are mapped but then how do I tell the calling map to again call the functional map till all the chars have been mapped?
 
Define the comment in the tree as 1 group containing a 50 byte text field (filler = <SP>) that occurs 6 times.

=f_map( text:group )
