Ramanan ,
Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that you are asking for the two input files to be merged producing two output files.
The first output file (a printed report?) will contain all the production records from file 1 and all the test records from file 2 with an lrecl of 80.
The second output file (another printed report?) will contain all the production records from file 1 and all the test records from file 2 with an lrecl of 132; 80 bytes of the input date and 52 bytes of blank padding.
Do you want them sorted or reordered in any way?
What sort and format of headers and trailers are you expecting?
Exactly the same, i want the two input files to be merged.
No need of sorting/reordering or sub-totals of records.
As mentioned in my previous post, i want the Output file 1 with data exactly within two lines of asterik lines and the second one with exactly the same way as you described.

Since I described both output files exactly the same (except for the lrecl), are you saying that, except for the lrecl, both outputs will look exactly the same?
No headers, no trailers, no "lines of asterik", right?
One more thing, do you want the contents of file 1 just followed by the contents of file 2, as in just concatenate and copy?
