| What is a "hexadecimal delimited file"? The term seems to have nothing to do with floating-point numbers, which are what COBOL variables with USAGE of COMP-1 and COMP-2 are. |

it would help if you would show examples,
with hex on.
05 CRLF PIC X(02) VALUE X'0D0A'.
in the event that you want to put a carriage-return/line-feed
at the end of each record,
MOVE CRLF TO <end-of-record> |

I created one file by using SAS coding(attached is the Snippet of the file).
Over here dots in b/w two fields iare hexadecimal delimiters.
I created that by moving '09'X in one byte delimiter field.
Now I want to create this file via Cobol. Please advise on this.
Attachments deleted, nothing that could not be shown with a text cut/paste and code tags
Thanks |

i have no desire to download your stuff.
your original question was how to create a hexadecimal-ly delimited file
(we knew we were working with a technical neophyte with that comment)
and all i asked was what is the hexadecimal with which you wanted to 'delimit' the records.
we know that you are disadvantaged by knowing so little about mainframe
(possibly computers in general)
but with what do you want to delimit your records?
also, why? |

| ppandey07, you should know better than to post attachments. Browse or edit the data set, set HEX ON, and copy-and-paste using Code tags to preserve alignment. |

Hello,
One way to do what you want in COBOL use STRING and place a x'09' between each data field.
Another is to define the output file layout with a 1-byte field between each data field and place the x'09' values in these fields. |
