Hello,

Is there some reason you can't do this with a bit of code?

Shanmugavel,

If you have access to DFSORT, you can use this DFSORT job. I used 70 for the maximum length of the records but you can change that if appropriate.

You can also use the SPACE function of REXX.

Hi,

We don have DFSORT installed in our machine. so, SQZ function wont works.

We have SYNCSORT alone.

the fields are variable one.
say SAM--------100-----
RAGHUL----4----

THe output should be SAM|100|
RAGHUL|4|

Is there any command in SYNCSORT which corresponds to the SQZ command in DFsort??
