Hi
I have a requirement like below;
My file length is 80. From position 20 to 30. It has different customer names. I want to mask with 'AAAAA' from position 20 to 30. I don't want to display customer names in the output filed. Using SORT how can we do this. Could you please help me on this.
Thanks
JMR |

Hi,
position 20-30 is 11 bytes, 'AAAAA' is only 5 bytes ?
Exactly what do you want in position 20-30 ? is it 'AAAAA' plus 6 spaces ?

JMR,
If you want 11 'A's in 20-30, you can use these DFSORT control statements:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC OVERLAY=(20:11C'A')
|
If you want 5 'A's followed by 6 spaces, you can use these DFSORT control statements:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC OVERLAY=(20:5C'A',6X)
|
If you want something else, say exactly what you want.
If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
