Hi

Plese see the sort card below

OUTFIL FNAMES=T1,REMOVECC,NODETAIL,
SECTIONS=(18,6,
TRAILER3=(1,11,12:18,7,19:
TOT=(91,17,SFF,EDIT=(SIIIIIIIIIIIII.TT),SIGNS=(,-))))

My objective is i need to add the values in position 91 t0 107 with data in position 18 to 24 as key and display it in a single record.

here is an example
Sample input:-
<pos 18 to 24> <Pos 91 to 107>
........XXXXXX....................... 12.75
........XXXXXX....................... -.75
........XXXXXX....................... -1.00
........YYYYYY................. .75

expected output
<position 1 to 11> XXXXXX 11.00
<position 1 to 11> YYYYYY .75

Iam getting that 11.00 correctly. but 2nd record value (.75) is coming as
75. can anyone please help

A good example of why you need to have someone else look over your code first before reaching out to the outside world.
