i want to reformat this file, by removing the leading spaces in field starting at position 47 until 65 (field length 19).
I was using the sort card like this but getting an error:
Code:
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(47,1,CH,EQ,C' '),
BUILD=(1:48,18,19:47,1,20:1,2,BI,EDIT=(TTT)))
IFTHEN=WHEN=(47,1,CH,NE,EQ,C' '),
*
BUILD=(1:47,19,20:1,2,BI,EDIT=(TTT)))
*
END

Please advise where i am going wrong.
I believe you are missing a comma after the first BUILD statement and an open parenthesis before the second WHEN statement.

leo_sangha,
Apart from what Alissa has pointed out, I see this one too.
Quote:
IFTHEN=WHEN=(47,1,CH,NE,EQ,C' '),
If you've only 2 IFTHEN conditions and if both are mutually exclusive you can simply use the WHEN=NONE condition instead of writing the entire condition again.
Also, if the output field positions are contigous you can omit the output field starting position.
I have modified your card accordingly and got the below results.
