Hi,

I want to add two records from the input file and write the sum (5 bytes interval) in the output file.

Ex:

000923456007789022222
000934567009870123456

My requirement is to sum the records

0009 - Record type leave as it is
23456+34567
0077890+0098701
22222+123456

My output should be
ie 0009580230176591

i heard about icetool. But i am not very much expertise on this. Could you please help me how to do this.

Note:

There will be no other record in the input file. Only two records.

Thanks for your help,
Muthu

Hi Kumar,

Explain your requirement clearly -

I guess the 3rd sum value should be 22222 + 23456 - check that
Does 3rd sum value need not be written to output file ?

Thanks,
Venkat

Hi Genesis,

Thanks for your help. The above code worked fine. I got the expected result.
I also tried the different code using dfsort and got the same result. But your code is simple.

Here is the code i used
