For a 25-character field, I do the following check for each character:
| Code: |
IF CHARS1 NOT SPACE
MOVE CHARS1 TO CHAR31
ELSE
MOVE '>' TO CHAR31
MOVE ' ' TO CHAR32
MOVE ' ' TO CHAR33
MOVE ' ' TO CHAR34
PUT TEMP3
GOTO WRAPPER
END-IF |
The field is 25 characters of either alpha or space. When I get the first space, I move the > into that corresponding output character and move spaces into the rest of the output characters, until I fill character 25. Is there a better way to accomplish this ?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hello,
It may help if you post the field definitions as well. . .
I'm confused by char31, 32, etc if the length is only 25. . . |

The input file:
| Code: |
FILE TEMPX
USERIDX 1 7 A
EMADDRS 10 25 A
CHARS1 EMADDRS 1 A
CHARS2 EMADDRS +1 1 A
CHARS3 EMADDRS +2 1 A
CHARS4 EMADDRS +3 1 A
CHARS5 EMADDRS +4 1 A
CHARS6 EMADDRS +5 1 A
CHARS7 EMADDRS +6 1 A
CHARS8 EMADDRS +7 1 A
CHARS9 EMADDRS +8 1 A
CHARS10 EMADDRS +9 1 A
CHARS11 EMADDRS +10 1 A
CHARS12 EMADDRS +11 1 A
CHARS13 EMADDRS +12 1 A
CHARS14 EMADDRS +13 1 A
CHARS15 EMADDRS +14 1 A
CHARS16 EMADDRS +15 1 A
CHARS17 EMADDRS +16 1 A
CHARS18 EMADDRS +17 1 A
CHARS19 EMADDRS +18 1 A
CHARS20 EMADDRS +19 1 A
CHARS21 EMADDRS +20 1 A
CHARS22 EMADDRS +21 1 A
CHARS23 EMADDRS +22 1 A
CHARS24 EMADDRS +23 1 A
CHARS25 EMADDRS +24 1 A |
The output file:
| Code: |
FILE TEMP3
EMADDR3 1 25 A
CHAR31 EMADDR3 1 A
CHAR32 EMADDR3 +1 1 A
CHAR33 EMADDR3 +2 1 A
CHAR34 EMADDR3 +3 1 A
CHAR35 EMADDR3 +4 1 A
CHAR36 EMADDR3 +5 1 A
CHAR37 EMADDR3 +6 1 A
CHAR38 EMADDR3 +7 1 A
CHAR39 EMADDR3 +8 1 A
CHAR310 EMADDR3 +9 1 A
CHAR311 EMADDR3 +10 1 A
CHAR312 EMADDR3 +11 1 A
CHAR313 EMADDR3 +12 1 A
CHAR314 EMADDR3 +13 1 A
CHAR315 EMADDR3 +14 1 A
CHAR316 EMADDR3 +15 1 A
CHAR317 EMADDR3 +16 1 A
CHAR318 EMADDR3 +17 1 A
CHAR319 EMADDR3 +18 1 A
CHAR320 EMADDR3 +19 1 A
CHAR321 EMADDR3 +20 1 A
CHAR322 EMADDR3 +21 1 A
CHAR323 EMADDR3 +22 1 A
CHAR324 EMADDR3 +23 1 A
CHAR325 EMADDR3 +24 1 A |
Thanks Dick.

Hi Dave,
My bad. . .  I was going in the wrong direction.
You might save some lines of code if these were put in arrays, but the cpu time (which may be significant) would still be there.
Also, please note that the source has been "Coded" using the bbtag above the Reply Panel. Copy/paste & Code preserves alignment and improves readability. There is also Preview so a post may be reviewed before submitting to the forum. |

Dick,
No problem. Thanks for the tip on the code. I was wondering if there were any examples of how best to cut back on this long, drawn-out code. I was hoping that someone either had already invented this wheel, or could point me to a sample of a DO loop of some kind that could do it.
Thanks,
Dave |

I received from EZT support an example of array processing with subscripting, so I put together the following which does the job:
| Code: |
SORT TEMPX TO TEMPX USING USERIDX
SORT TEMPY TO TEMPY USING USERIDY
JOB INPUT (TEMPX KEY(USERIDX) TEMPY KEY(USERIDY)) FINISH WRAPUP
100-MATCH-PREP.
IF MATCHED
INSUB = 1
DO WHILE INSUB LE 25 AND EMARRAYI(INSUB) NE ' '
MOVE EMARRAYI(INSUB) TO EMARRAYO(INSUB)
INSUB = INSUB + 1
END-DO
IF EMARRAYI(INSUB) = ' '
MOVE '>' TO EMARRAYO(INSUB)
END-IF
PUT TEMP3
END-IF
PUT TEMP4 FROM TEMPX
GOTO JOB
WRAPUP. PROC
DISPLAY 'JOB ENDED: ' SYSDATE SYSTIME
END-PROC.
REPORT OUTPT1 PRINTER OUTPTFL1 LINESIZE 132 NOHEADING
TITLE 1 SYSTIME ' USERIDS GIVE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR HEADER FILE '
LINE OUTA

Thanks for your time.
