Let b = spaces

Once more let us clarify exactly what JCL is.
it is Job Control Language.
By itself it does nothing. It is used to invoke the chosen program and to define which datasets are to be used by the DD names associated with the chosen program.
JCL does not have magical powers that solve all problems, JCL is merely the vehicule for telling the processor which program you want it to execute.
So, if you might just care to tell us which program you wish the JCL to execute, we might be able to help you |

I used program ICETOOL to extract the header and trailer from the INFILE, however i am having difficulty elimination the spaces at position 1 and 2.
The record length is 8 bytes.
Ex. current layout is
..007802
Desire output in numeric
007802 or 7802
I attached the instruction code used thus far below.
Thanks again
| Code: |
//STEP0103 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//INFILE DD DSN=LUKE21.TEST1,DISP=SHR
//OUTFILE DD DSN=LUKE21.D0.SQ008,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=8,BLKSIZE=28800),
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE),UNIT=3390
//TOOLIN DD *
*
**------------------------------------*
* GET COUNT OF RECORDS INPUT FILE *
**------------------------------------*
*
COPY FROM(INFILE) USING(CTL1)
/*
//CTL1CNTL DD *
OUTFIL FNAMES=OUTFILE
INCLUDE COND=(1,2,CH,EQ,X'0000',OR,1,2,CH,EQ,X'FFFF')

Halo Luke,
In the ICETOOL control card, you could do the following, to reach ur goal -
1. Find the blank space in first to positions. This can be achieved by using IF THEN .. WHEN option.
2. Remove the spaces. This can be done using OUTREC option.
Note:
------
1. If the spaces are uniform throughout the file, then a OUTREC alone would achieve ur goal.
2. You could get the syntax for these options in forums as well as in Quick reference QWS. |
