Sort copy with inrec/outrec will do that.

Test this....

Code:

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD *
ABCDEFGH
/*
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
  SORT FIELDS=COPY
  OUTREC FIELDS=(1:1,4,C'99',7:7,2)
/*

Rehana,

Assuming you want to put C'99' in positions 5-6 of every record, you can use a DFSORT job like this:

Code:

//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN                           
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*                       
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file           
//SORTOUT  DD DSN=...  output file                       
//SYSIN     DD *                               
  OPTION COPY                                 
  INREC OVERLAY=(5:C'99')                     
/*                                             


If you want to do something else, please explain in more detail what you want to do.

If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
