Even a browse of the forum should find you something likely, like this one. Which happens to be immediately next to yours :-)

EDIT: Or it was when I started, kept on messing up the url tags...

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Do you have this working now?

If not, where are you stuck?

You need to understand that "JCL's" cannot do this. Some program must be executed (probably DFSORT if this is the sort product on your system).

Suggest you look at BUILD in the manual.

If you find something that is not clear, post what you found and your doubt. SOmeone will be able to clarify.

Anthony,

You can use a DFSORT job like the following:

Code:

//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file (FB/240)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file (FB/100)
//SYSIN DD *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC BUILD=(1,100)
/*


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:

Hallo, I've a input file with LREC = 1000. Each record contains a char '$' at a unknow position

I'd like to have an output file FB with LREC based on maximum position of the char '$'. In this example should be 50

It's also possible remove the character '$' in the output file at the same time?

Many thanks

marco
