File Layout

ADGH2345....

ABCD0234
ADGH1345

You didn't say what format you wanted for the output, so I'll assume it's ZD. Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for.
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
ABCD1234
ADGH2345
/*
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC OVERLAY=(5:5,4,ZD,SUB,+1000,TO=ZD,LENGTH=4)
/*

ABCD023D
DEFR134E

ABCD0234
ADGH1345

| The job gives the correct output with DFSORT since DFSORT uses an F sign for TO=ZD or TO=ZDF and a C sign for TO=ZDC. So you must be using Syncsort which gives a C sign for TO=ZD. I'm a DFSORT developer. DFSORT and Syncsort are competitive products. I'm happy to answer questions on DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, but I don't answer questions on Syncsort. |

| Thanks Frank, sorry for raising the question in the wrong forum, but your replies did help me get the result using some syncsort formatting. |

OPTION COPY
INREC OVERLAY=(1:1,4,5:5,4,ZD,SUB,+1000,M11,LENGTH=4)
