Hello,
A bit more information, please.
In the VB file, will the number to sum always begin in pos 115?
Is all of the data to be copied as well as creating the TOTAL line? If all of the data is to be copied into the output file, should the TOTAL be placed at the end of the output file or in a different place?

adushkin,
Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for. I assumed that your starting position of 115 included the RDW in positions 1-4. If not, change 115 to 119 to account for the RDW. If the format of the total is not what you want, you can change the edit mask accordingly.
Input:
Field A pos 85:14
Field B pos 76:9
Field C pos 115:6 (com-3)
output
Output:
Field A Field B Field C
