My requirement is to delimit the various fields in the output file with one carat(^).
Ex:
Emp No HICN No Name
0000000001^H0000001^Sureet

How to achieve this using outrec in jcl???

search the forums for "CSV" ( comma separated values )
the process will be the same, You will be using a "^" instead of a comma ","

just a hint... something along the lines .....
OUTREC FIELDS=(p1,l2,'^",p2,l2,'^',...,....pn,ln)

p1,p2,...,...,pn will be the input field position
l1,l2,...,...,ln ill be the input field length

check the manuals for the exact syntax
and test

Sureet,

Basing this solely on the small sample record you included in the original post, if each field has a single space between them, and there are no spaces within a field, then you may be able to use either FINDREP or ALTSEQ to change all the spaces to carats. This is a better approach if you do not know the exact positions of the spaces/carat replacement.
