Hello,

Please show a few input records and what the output for those records needs to be. Yo don't need to show all 256 bytes, just the first 50 or so.

You can use a DFSORT job like this:

Hello,

Does your location use DFSORT or Syncsort or some other sort product?

How far "across" the record does the $ need to be inserted? Are all of the locatons that need to be shifted been shown? Will the overall length of a record increase to accomodate the inserted $s? Should the right-most bytes be truncated to keep the 256 length?

Your "output" doesn't match your requirement definition
