Hi All,

Greetings!!!

I have a requirement like below.

Input file records:
Code:


            Date:24-Sep-2013
            
Account   Currency   Total amount   Balance amount   
12345       USD           $1,000                $100    
12346       EUR           $2,000                $200    
22222       GBP           $3,000                $300    



Expected result:
Code:

2013-09-24|12345|USD|100
2013-09-24|12346|EUR|200
2013-09-24|22222|GBP|300


I am able to extract Account, Currency, Balance amount and all. But the date column appears at only one place and i want the column to be repeated in all the records in SORTOUT.

Is there any way to populate the date field from the header across all the records?

Thanks a lot for your time in this.

Yes.

Use IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP to identify the heading date and PUSH the date value onto each record.

You'll need to not exclude the header early, but remember to exclude it in OUTFIL processing.

1.Use Symnames to produce date ( Examples already there)
2.Skip/Omit the header records
3.Parse the detail records and have fixed length ( Examples already there)
4.Reformat and write to output ( Examples already there)
