Hi,
I have a requirement as follows.
I have a input dataset in which some rows are repeated upto a fixed column. After that fixed column there are four indicator fields which are different in the otherwise repeating rows. Now in the four indicators fields 1 field has some value, while others are blank for a row. similarly in the next row (in which there fields are common upto a fixed column) the indicators have a different combination.

Now in the output,i want the rows which are common upto that fixed column to be merged and the indicators to come in that single row.

For e.g.
Input.
Code:

1000|1|2|3|abc|y| | | |
1000|1|2|3|abc| | |n| |
1000|1|2|3|abc| | | |n|

For the above input, the output should be
Code:

1000|1|2|3|abc|y| |n|n|

As you can see in the input, the last 4 columns are the indicators about which i have mentioned above.

Please help.

What is the RECFM and LRECL of the input file?

What is the starting postion, length and format of each field?

Your example shows one input record group (by value) with three records. Can there be a group with two records, four records, etc? Can a group have records with more than one indicator in the same column? If so, what do you want for output in that case?

Please show a better example with more variations, and explain the rules in more detail.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for concern.

Record format is fixed block. Starting position,length,format is as follows.

Col 1: 1,4,CH
COl2: 6,1,CH
Col3: 8,1,CH
Col4: 10,1,ZD
Col5: 12,3,CH
Cols6,7,8,9 are CH of length.

I have used '|' as delimiter.

There can be groups with two or three or four (maximum) records. There will be only one indicator in same column for a group.
I am giving another e.g.
Input
Code:

2000|4|8|9|xyz| | | |y|
2000|4|8|9|xyz| |n| | |
2000|4|8|9|xyz|n| | | |
3500|a|3|9|pqr| | | |n|
3500|a|3|9|pqr| | |n| |

Output:
Code:

2000|4|8|9|xyz|n|n| |y|
3500|a|3|9|pqr| | |n|n|

I hope i am making my point clear.

Thanks
