Hi Guys,

I have a input file in the following format:

Code:

MEMBER20-FROM:AsfdfBC@XYZ.COM                       
MEMBER20-TO:DEF@XYZ.COM           
MEMBER20-CC:GasdaHI@XYZ.COM           
MEMBER09-FROM:ABC@XYZ.COM                       
MEMBER09-TO:JFGDGKL@XYZ.COM
MEMBER09-CC:MasdasdadNO@XYZ.COM             
MEMBER09-CC:DasdasdEF@XYZ.COM           
MEMBER09-CC:PQaR@XYZ.COM


The input file is FB of length 100 bytes.

I am trying to format the output as below:
Code:

         FROM            TO          CC
MEMBER20-AsfdfBC@XYZ.COM|DEF@XYZ.COM|GasdaHI.XYZ.COM
MEMBER09-ABC@XYZ.COM    |JFGDGKL@XYZ.COM |MasdasdadNO@XYZ.COM,DasdasdEF@XYZ.COM,PQaR@XYZ.COM



The basic formatting needs to be done on the first 8 characters:.

If any thing in the TO/ CC/ FROM is having more than one entry then they needs to be appended as comma separated. There is no fixed length of the email ID.

Could someone please help me with this.

Wouldn't it be simpler and flexible to do it in Cobol or any other language program of your comfort ? Why go fancy? Someone else later working on it will find it easy and maintainable if we keep it easy at first place.

Niki,

Well, regardless of the programming language you might want to think about how you are going to handle if the 'comma separated CC email ids' is too long to be accommodated in one record. Can you show such an example with the expected output?
