Hi All,

I have a requirement that I want to sum one filed of input file.
The field is declared as ZZ9.999.

Could you tell me how to sum this field.

Thanks in advance,

You need to supply more details. Show an example of your input records (relevant fields only) and the expected output records. Give the starting position, length and format of each relevant field. Give the RECFM and LRECL of the input file.

Hi Frank,

The RECFM and LRECL of input file is FB 150 respectively.

The filed(73-79) is declared as ZZ9.999.

Suppose if my input file is having data like

1-5 73-79

54771 23.789
54774 123.657
54771 98.001

Then my output should be
54771 121.789
54774 123.657

Thanks,
Lakshmi
