Hi all,
currently i am fighting with one problem. In my output file Header record is as below :
<BatchUpdate Type="TRI" WorkDate="20070905" RecordCount="00037">
followed by Detail records. And last record is </BatchUpdate>
which is also being counted in the RecordCount.

I want only the number of detail records and that is 36 and not 37.

My control card is as below :
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
TRAILER1=(COUNT=(M11,LENGTH=5))

Thanks you all for reading....!
