How do I read a mainframe file which has no line delimiters?

I have a file which is very long, and has no line breaks, cr or lf or otherwise. In fact, there are no delimiters between records. Records are fixed length, and the record length and field lengths are known.

I know how to read a fixed length file in spring batch, but I am not sure how to configure a Flat File Item Reader to read a file so that it ignores \n or \r characters and instead terminates the line based on length. Is there some default way of doing this in Spring Batch? Or do I need to manually override the readLine method in the BufferedReader class?
