What is the position of the field?
What are the attributes of the file? |

Hi all,
I have similar kind of problem . I need to replace all '#' with space for VB file.
Record length is 1200
I am using following sort card
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
ALTSEQ CODE=(7B40)
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,4,5,1196,TRAN=ALTSEQ),VLFILL=X'40' |
Now the problem is output of this job is going as input of another job & since in this sort card we are filling all the shorter record with spaces so RDW of all the record will show it as 1200 BYTE.
One way which i m thinking is to convert this file into FB at the time of changing all # to spaces & VLFILl with some special character & then again convert it to VB again & use VLTRIM option
Please guide me if we have any other better approch to acheive this. |

You don't need to convert the file to FB. You just need to use the correct syntax for VB. p,TRAN=ALTSEQ will do the change from position p to the end of each input record. So the control statements would be:
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
ALTSEQ CODE=(7B40)
OUTREC BUILD=(1,4,5,TRAN=ALTSEQ)

Hi Kolusu,
I have used VLFILL=X'40' OPTION because it showing

You could NOT have gotten that error message with the control statements shown in Kolusu's post:
| Code: |
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
ALTSEQ CODE=(7B40)
OUTREC BUILD=(1,4,5,TRAN=ALTSEQ)
|
What control statements are you actually using? |
