Use Cobol and have look in the Cob-Section, where you posted the same question.
If you don't like Cobol. use Assembler ! |

Rahul,
What is the RECFM and LRECL of your input file? What do you want for the RECFM and LRECL of your output file?
What is the maximum number of fields in a record - your example shows 7 fields - how many can there actually be?
What is the maximum length of a field?
Is there only one record in the input file or can there be more than one? |
