sant532,
Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC OVERLAY=(10:10,5,ZD,ADD,+1000,TO=ZD,LENGTH=5)

Hi Frank,
What will happen to record something like this:
ABE0003MF99000
How can this be handled? |

99000+1000 = 100000. Since that's a 6 digit value and only 5 digits are allowed (LENGTH=5), the first digit will be truncated and the result would be:
ABE0003MF00000

Well, that's up to the programmer to decide. If you don't want the value truncated, then you can use LENGTH=6 (or more) to allow for a larger value. If you want to "flag" the value in some way, you can use IFTHEN to check for it. And so on. |
