Hello,
You need to better describe your request.
Post some input and the output you want to be created when that input is processed.
Mention the recfm and lrecl of both files. |

After the second step, add a SORT step to OVERLAY the data from col 9 of length 8.
As suggested, post few more details of the file. Is that a VB or FB? What actually are you doing with that file in the 3rd step? |

Hi,
I am creating one new file. I need to add below record to that file,
' 00000000 '
The LRECL is 24 and recfm is VB. I will read the file in the next step which will execute a application program.
I need to avoid 'file is empty' error that's the reason I need to a record.
Thanks, |

Chennai,
Here's a DFSORT job that will do what I think you asked for. You said you wanted the constant in position 9, but I assumed you were not counting the RDW, so it would really be position 13. (If you were counting the RDW, then change 9: to 5:).
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (VB/24)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (VB/24)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL REMOVECC,
TRAILER1=(9:C'00000000')

Thanks Frank.
This is working fine. But both my input file and output file are same. So is there any way to use Dummy file in SORTIN and use this file in sortout?
I tried the same but i am getting below error
ICE043A 3 INVALID DATA SET ATTRIBUTES SPECIFIED SORTIN RECFM
I suppose, I am getting this because of no DCB attributes in Dummy file. Is there any way to fix it up? |

| I don't understand. You say the input file and output file are the same, but then you ask if you can use a DUMMY file for SORTIN. That makes no sense. What does your input file look like? What do you want the output file to look like? Using the same file for input and output is NOT a good idea. |

Hi Frank,
I believe the requirement is to generate a single-record output file with the zeros as the only record. . . |

Well, if there's no input file, and we just have to generate an output file containing one record with zeros, this would do it:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DUMMY,RECFM=VB,LRECL=24,BLKSIZE=28
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (VB/24)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTFIL REMOVECC,
TRAILER1=(9:C'00000000')
