Hi,

I see , the syntax of SQZ is (p,m,SQZ) where 'p' is the postion and 'm' is lenght of data you want to perform SQZ funtion...

For eg. in your OUTREC below:

Hi rajat,

Thanks for your reply

The p,m what you are specifying is 50,45

If I use the TRAN=LTOU seperately without SQZ it works. Similarly if I use SQZ without TRAN=LTOU it works.

Both the SQZ and TRAN functions are required for the field in 50,45.
But when both the funtions are specified I get a syntax error.

Thanks,
Dharani

Hi nagarajan.dharani,

I still feel that you cannot use TRAN=LTOU and SQZ both at some time on same fileds. I think you either have to suppy 50.45 for SQZ also or you can use OVERLAY function after your OUTREC statement for applying SQZ on 50,45.

I hope i am clear...

Dharani,

rajatbagga is right. The syntax error is issued because you don't have p,m,SQZ=(...). If you want to use TRAN=LTOU on 50,45 and then use SQZ on the result in 50,45, you can do it with DFSORT control statements like this:
