Hi,
The data in the sting is mixed with Alpha numeric & numeric and every field is separated by comma. (,). but all the alphanumeric fields has a additional quotes in it.

But i need to remove the additioanl quotes from Alphanumeric fields in order to perform unstring by comma to use the data.

Example 1:
'"600","CY",8,"3787660","000043877",14099.83,1166.96,"USD"'.

But I need the above record as shown below:
EXAMPLE2:
'600,CY,8,3787660,000043877,14099.83,1166.96,USD'.

So that i can unstring the data shown in exapmle 2 using just ','.


Note:
I managed to remove the quotes using ICETOOL Replace command but it takes 4 step procedure to remove .

But is there any way by using single sort/icetool step to achive as shown above to remove the additional quotes in alphanumeric fields?

Thanks,
Govi.

A simple FINDREP in a SORT step should do. What are your four ICETOOL steps, please?

First step S1: I replace " "," " to ",".
Second step S2: I replace " ", " to ",".
Third step S3: I replace " ," " to ",".
Fourth step S4: i replace " " " to " ".

Also Steps shown below.


Code:
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN                                                   
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                                   
//SORTIN DD DSN=TCL1.T.ACBSDIER.DCS20100,DISP=SHR                       
//*"600","CY",8,"3787660","000043877",14099.83,1166.96,"USD"           
/*                                                                     
//SORTOUT DD DSN=TCL1.GK.ACBSDIER.DCS20100.LEVEL1,DISP=SHR             
//SYSIN DD *                                                           
  OPTION COPY

OK. You're not actually using ICETOOL.

Try:

Code:
  OPTION COPY
  INREC FINDREP=(INOUT=(C'"',C''))


That should get all the "s at once.

Although you can't use multiple FINDREP on INREC, you can use multiple IFTHEN, like IFTHEN=(WHEN=NONE, and have a FINDREP subordinate to that.

Same for OUTREC and OUTFIL.

In this case, I don't see that you need multiple FINDREPs, or multiple values to change (also possible with FINDREP, check the manual).
