I have the following requirement.Can you please help.
NOW sequence number is 10-12 ( 3 bytes) - 10TH BITE IS alphabetic and 11-12 are numeric and control break is on field starting from character 5 and length of 5.whenever control break changes sequence number starts again from beginning. In new requirement they want to make this sequence number as alphanumeric and increment and new sequence start from BAA instead of AAA( A sequence is using for some other purpose). New sequence should be like BAA,BAB,BAC.....BAZ,BBA,BBB,..BZZ,...BA1,BA2,BA3...etc
Input file:
| Code: |
704812345B01 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704812345B02 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704812345B03 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
.
,

.
704812345B98 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704812345B99 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704812345C01 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704812345C03 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704856789B01 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704856789B02 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

704856789B98 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704856789B99 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704856789C01 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704856789C03 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

OUTPUT ( As part of bussiness requirement sequence number is making alphanumeric and should start from BAA:
| Code: |
704812345BAA XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

704856789BBA XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704856789BBB XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
704856789BBC XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I have looked in to DFSORT sequence generation and using control break but i have not seen option of alphanumeric sequence generation.This is one time conversion of file.Is it possible with DFSORT or syncsort? if not how can i achieve this using cobol?
Thanks for your help
Regards

I am not sure about dfsort but it is more like a logical concern to achieve.
Try this approach with DB2 functions (if you have access/installed) for generating the unique combinations:
| Code: |
| select 'A' || CHR(ASCII('A')+1)from sysibm.sysdummy1 |
perform this in loop till 26 times then change 'A' to 'B' and perform the above query 26 tmes and so on till you get 'ZZ'.
Once you reach 'ZZ" then perform below loop till Z99 with the same logic as above
| Code: |
| select strip('A' || char(0 + 1)) from sysibm.sysdummy1 |

| Data is present in sequential file and we do not use DB2. |

| Meanwhile, you could quickly write a program instead and get this done. |

| Can you please suggest pseudocode for program to achieve the above functionality? |

If this is one time then why don't you hardcode in dfsort?
For e.g. 01 -->AA, 02-->AB, 03-->AC and so on....till 99. and write those many IFTHEN sentences and use overlay to replace 01 with AA and so on by grouping them. I think that is the easiest way to replace the ranges
