Hello,
I have a sequential file and i want to move the value of the 10th column to the 11th column. Then the 10th column should fill in spaces.
for exp:
Before change:
| Code: |
FIELD10 FIELD11
3456 8786
8970 9999
6789 3434 |
After change:
| Code: |
FIELD10 FIELD11
3456
8970
6789 |
"Code'd"
If it is possible to fix this thru DF SORT, please someone can answer.
Thanks |

| Yes, but you need to tell me the starting position and length of the "10th column", the starting position and length of the "11th column", and the RECFM and LRECL of the input file. |

Starting position of the 10th column = 24 and Length = 4
Starting position of the 11th column = 28 and Length = 4
RECFM = F and LRECL = 46 in the input file
Thanks |

Hi,
Below sort card should work. Please try.
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC BUILD=(1,23,4X,28:24,4,32,15) |
Thanks, |

You should test "solutions" before posting them to make sure the result meets the requirement. . . |

CICS Guy and dick scherrer,
What makes you think that ssmukul's control cards will NOT work? As per OP's latest request the output file will be 46 bytes and ssmukul did account for the right positions and length.

Hi Kolusu,
I was responding to the "should work". I probably should have been more clear - i didn't mean to say/imply it would not work

What i meant to convey was that (for the most part - there's always an exception or 2), solutions need to be tested/verified before posting. Preferably showing the output gotten from the sample input. |

Hi Kolusu,
As usual, I sometimes miss the obvious (1,23) and was thinking in terms of OVERLAY rather than just BUILD.... |

Note that this could be done with OVERLAY as well like this:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC OVERLAY=(28:24,4,24:4X)

Hi Dick,
I had tested the SORT card before posting. But sorry to write "should work". I will keep this in mind for future posts.
Thanks. |

Hi ssmukul,
Thanks for the follow-up 
I often forget that "should" often means "does" here at the forum. . .
