I want to change a 2 byte binary into 3 byte characteristics
which is in the first position in the input record.
the rest of the record needs to remain the same.

Thanks & Regards,

Ekta,

OP says conversion from BI to CH, copying the rest of the record as it is.

Your sortcard, doesn't show the require conversion.

hi murali,

BI,TO=CH ? Right?

also i want to the copy the whole rest part of the record from input file to the output file

so if my input file lrecl is 121 bytes
and output files lrecl will be 122 bytes

so in (3,n) n must be equal to 119 ? which is 2 bytes - 121 of input file.
or
n must be equal to 122 ?

Hopefully i am not confusing you ....

Thanks & Regards,
