Hi,

Please use CODE tags to present the data instead of an attachemnt.

Do you want to squeeze out the spaces? If so, what are the rules for the same? Also, provide RECFM, LRECL of input and output data sets.

If you just want variable-positioned fields to become fixed-positoned fields, look at PARSE.

Hi Gnanas,

I dont want to eliminate spaces,the output file should contain leading and trailing spaces for each column as explained in output screen shot and it is fixed.

and there is no limitiation with file size

Don't complain when it was you who confused Gnanas by putting the output file first.

Rather than answering their Gnanas's quesion, why did you feel the need to mention file size?

Look at PARSE. Use it. Requirement satisfied.
