Hi,
I transfered a txt file (having data under 7 columns) to mainframe as a flat file. When i viewed that flat file I noticed that the last 2 columns are appending at the bottom of the file. What should I do to make the last 2 columns to load after column 5? |

Hello,
Suggest you pre-allocate the file on the mainframe with the desired attributes, then upload the data. |

Hello,
I'm not sure what needs elaboration. . . 
By jcl or in tso/ispf allocate a file with the proper attributes (recfm, lrecl. space, etc). This should be the same dsn as is specified in the ftp process.
Run the ftp to upload the data into this file. |

| I don't suppose you could post an exact copy of the data (in hex) from the system you're sending FROM so maybe we might be able to make an educated guess? |

| Thanks you all. I can understand. But if we create a file and then load the data the time spending on this will be more time. If this could be fixed with some other option that wouldnt take much time will be very much helpful. |

Is your batch window really so tight that adding an IDCAMS step to one job would be ruinous? |

Well, it could take "more" time, but i suspect it would be so little more that it would be nearly impossible to measure. . . |

| premcitit, it is obvious that this forum is too advanced for you. Please go to the Beginner's and Students Forum instead of this one. You have a better chance of getting help there, although from the tone of your posts in this thread, I doubt that they will be able to help you as much as you need, either, since it appears that you know nothing about mainframes, nor JCL, nor data sets, nor FTP. |
