My input file is of the following order
Code:
| Code: |
0001|abc |1234
0002|abncd |1235
0003|abdn |4567
|
My output Files needs to be like
Code:
| Code: |
0001|abc|1234
0002|abncd|1235
0003|abdn|4567
|
ie, I want to trim all the spaces in the column2.
Can I do using Rexx ultility.
** SuperK ** I edited the post to include the CODE tags as an example of why they are extremely valuable ** |

| use STRIP builtin in column 2 (or SPACE builtin to the whole... it depends on what you want). |

| prasanth_bs, you do realize that your before and after examples look exactly the same, both here and in your other posts? You need to use the CODE BBCode tags around your data so that all the spacing and formatting is preserved. |

IMHO they don't look the same
0003|abdn |4567
0003|abdn|4567
anyway it's a good advice to use tags. |

SPACE will suppress all spaces in all columns:
| Code: |
| LINEOUT = SPACE(LINEIN,0) |
If you want to limit the change to column 2 only, do:
| Code: |
PARSE VAR LINEIN COL1 '|' COL2 '|' COL3
LINEOUT = COL1'|'SPACE(COL2,0)'|'COL3 |
