I have a file in the PIPE delimiter format.
1|2|20150316
1|20|20150316
My output should lokk like
1|002|20150316
1|020|20150316
Second field is three byte field. if its not three bytes i have to insert zeroes infront of each value.
PLease let me know how can we achiev this by using sort command |

Why do you need to do that? (can't the reader realise that the presence/absence of leading zeros does not affect the value of anything)
Why can't the source of the data make that field fixed-length for you?
If you are stuck doing it, it is a simple PARSE into three parts, and using an EDIT= for the second PARSEd field as you use BUILD to remake the line. |
