I have an input flat file. It contains a field say var1 from position 1 onwards.
Eg.
123456789012(Columns)
nikhilluckisher
rajeshjk
prabhatjkljl

This is the only field in the file and varies in length from 7 to 11.

Now i want to copy it in an output file.
The format of this file is
123456789012345678901234567890123(Columns)
TRANSCACTION VAR1; DISPLAY:

The fields TRANSACTION and DISPLAY are fixed and appear in every record from the output field.

Now I want to copy the field var1 from input file into VAR1 field of output file. And also delimit it by ;(semi colon)

Eg.
TRANSCACTION nikhilluckishere; DISPLAY
TRANSCACTION rajeshjk; DISPLAY
TRANSCACTION prabhatjkljl; DISPLAY


I hope this is clear to you all.

In your example, the maximum length is 15, not 11. Also, you spelled 'TRANSACTION" incorrectly.

At any rate, here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for. You'll need z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90007 or DFSORT R14 PTF UK90006 (April, 2006) in order to use DFSORT's SQZ function. If you don't have the April, 2006 PTF, ask your System Programmer to install it (it's free). For complete details on all of the new DFSORT and ICETOOL functions available with the April, 2006 PTF, see:

Use [URL] BBCode for External Links

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN                                           
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*                                           
//SORTIN DD *                                                       
nikhilluckisher                                                     
rajeshjk                                                           
prabhatjkljl           
/*                                             
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSIN    DD    *                                                 
  OPTION COPY         
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,                             
    BUILD=(C'TRANSACTION',                             
       13:1,15,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT,TRAIL=C';',LENGTH=16), 
       C' DISPLAY')),                                 
   IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,                                 
    OVERLAY=(13:13,24,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT,MID=C' ')))     
/*


SORTOUT will have:

Code:

TRANSACTION nikhilluckisher; DISPLAY     
TRANSACTION rajeshjk; DISPLAY           
TRANSACTION prabhatjkljl; DISPLAY

Here's a simpler DFSORT job to do the same thing:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN                                           
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*                                           
//SORTIN DD *                                                       
nikhilluckisher                                                     
rajeshjk                                                           
prabhatjkljl           
/*                                             
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSIN    DD    *                                                 
  OPTION COPY         
  INREC BUILD=(1,15,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT,LEAD=C'TRANSACTION ',
    TRAIL=C'; DISPLAY',LENGTH=36))
