Help required on FILEAID BATCH DD Statement

Hi,

There is an input date file. there are a few output files.
DD01 = Datecard.file { 20 LRECL}
DD02 = Output {80 LRECL}
DD03 = Output {80 LRECL}
DD04 = Output {80 LRECL} .....

I would like to copy the 5 chars from pos. 12 from DD01 to 45th pos. in DD02, DD03 etc... output files. What are the statements to use in JCL.

Your immediate response is greatly appreciated!!

Thank you

Oops!! Unfortunately, over explanation turned out to be confusing.

There is one I/P File.
Layout
DATE 20071023 DATADATADAT

O/P File 1: xxxxxxxxx20070101 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
O/P File 2: yyyyyyyyy20070201 yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
etc...

I would want to replace only the O/P file date value with the I/P file. There are multiple o/p files with different dates.

The result should be

O/P File 1: xxxxxxxxx20071023 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
O/P File 2: yyyyyyyyy20071023 yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

How to achieve this thru FILEAID Batch control card.
Thank you

You could probably accomplish this using two FILEAID steps. The 1st step reads the DATE record and creates the $$DD02 through $$DD04 control cards to UPDATE the other files in position 45.
