Hi
Is there any way to insert a null character in the output file using OUTREC? At preset my sort step is as follows.
OUTREC FIELDS = (1,4,1X,5,24)
I need a null character in place of "1X". Is it possible? |

| Define what a "null character" is, please. That term has no meaning on a mainframe. |

| Do you mean LOW VALUES here because there is no null char in file as Robert said... |

| Unless this is about DB2 -- I'm dumb to understand what a NULL value is in a QSAM... |

I don't know what you mean by a null character, but if it has a hex representation, then you can use X'hh' instead of 1X to insert it where hh is the hex representation (e.g. X'00' for binary zero). |
