Hi,

This is a part of one requirement, if this part is done I can proceed for the
rest of the solution.
I have an input file with many sections
each section starts with word Header in the first column

Header
aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd
Header
eee
fff
ggg
Header
hhh
iii

I want to introduce a new feild in the first column
which specifies the section no.
so, the output should look like this

1Header
1aaa
1bbb
1ccc
1ddd
2Header
2eee
2fff
2ggg
3Header
3hhh
3iii

What is the RECFM and LRECL of the input file?

Is the header record identified by 'Header' in positions 1-6? If not, how is it identified exactly?

What do you want for the length and format of the inserted section (1 byte is only going to get you up to 9 sections)?

Hi,
Just assume that max no of sections is only 9
Format of the file is FB of length 80
header is identified by HEADER key word from 1st column of a row
