Can anybody help me out in developing a sort card to remove 12th and 15th digit from a number of 15 digits and replace the two spaces in the end of 13th digit and also first 4 digits will be spaces using sort utility.
Ex: 123400234126417 should look like ' 1234002341241 ' where number 6 and 7 got removed and two spaces at end and four spaces at begeining. |

123400234126417 => 15 bytes
1234002341241 + 6 bytes of spaces => 19 bytes
Are you sure this is your requirement?
If yes
Do you need to remove 12th and 15th digit always?
If Yes
OUTREC FIELDS=(4X,5:1,11,16:13,2,18:13,2,2X) |

i/p: 001234567891012
o/p: 0012345678901 .......................................................................
sort card: SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(4X,5:1,11,16:13,2,2X)
my o/p is as expected but i don't need extra dots after last spaces. Also o/p should be within inverted comas. |

Try this
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(4X,5:C'''',6:1,11,17:13,2,19:C'''',61X)

|
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC BUILD=(4X,C'''',1,11,13,2,C'''',80:X) |
I've changed FIELDS to BUILD, as FIELDS is somewhat "overloaded". Since all the data appears naturally at the position of the columns previously specified, I have removed the columns. To "pad" the record, put data in the last byte, unreferenced bytes will automatically be filled by DFSORT.
For "inverted commas" you may mean C'"'. |

Thanks Bill
Vidya,
I believe I had spoon fed you enough.Why not try to understand the card and change it to what is needed? |

Vidya,
As Pandora-Box indicates, you really should be able to do that bit yourself.
If you don't understand how, there are excellent manuals referenced in "stickies" at the top of this forum. Consult them, experiment, and understand what has been shown to you, then the final bit will be easy.
If you don't understand the sort card but go ahead with a solution, what are you going to do when someone asks you to change it? Or document it? Or how to do something similar since you've managed that one? |
