Assuming no COMPUTATIONAL fields, it should be easy enough to split each line
up into fixed-length pieces, e.g. assuming a simple example
01 Sample-Record.
02 Field-1 pic XXX.
02 Field-2 pic XXXX.
02 Field-3 pic XXXXX.
then a Python sequence that read one line's worth of fields might be
line = infile.read()
(field_1, field_2, field_3) = (line[0:3], line[3:7], line[7:12])
