I have a dataset and i need to overlay the field starting from column 106-110 with values 999.99. This field currently has different values.Field is declared as S999V99.
I have heard that we can use the line command overlay but I am not sure how to use it.

If you have an existing value on the field, it cannot be overlayed.

You can do an overlay, like this
Code:

****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
C      TEST                                                                   
O                                                                             
****** **************************** Bottom of Data ****************************

Your suggestion may not work properly as the source statement should not contain a value in anyother col other than 106-110. consider this

Code:
***************************** To
//SOURCE-LINE    TEST           
//TARGET LINE                   


If you try to overlay 'source-line', 'target line' becomes 'target-line'.

If the OP was to give an example of input and expected output we may be able to offer some guidance rather than guesses.

Use picture string mask to overlay any existing values
Code:
C p'=====' '99999' 106 ALL
