There is a TWO step job:

STEP 1

Its a EZT code where i there are three files in picture:
a) Input read file
b) Another input read file
c) Output file (new,Catlg,Del) with LRECL=133

I this step i m reading file B,on the basis of fetched record(from B) reading file A and finally adding all he records in file c.

In file B, first record mentions a group (3 alphanumeric) and rest are the records of 133 length which we will be writing in file C.File C wont be having that 3 byte alphanumeric group number only 133 byte records.

Step 2.

The group variable which we read in first step is to be used as a qualifier in allocating a file
Ex: M.GROUP.REPORT
And than copy all the data in this file from file C.

Or

Is there a way in easytrive where in we can allocate a file with the read group id qualifier and than add records to it.
