|
|
I have a dataset and i need to overlay the field starting from column 106-110 with values 999.99. This field currently has different values.Field is declared as S999V99.
I have heard that we can use the line command overlay but I am not sure how to use it. |

If you have an existing value on the field, it cannot be overlayed.
You can do an overlay, like this
Code:
****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
C TEST
O
****** **************************** Bottom of Data ****************************

od,

Your suggestion may not work properly as the source statement should not contain a value in anyother col other than 106-110. consider this
Code: ***************************** To
//SOURCE-LINE TEST
//TARGET LINE
If you try to overlay 'source-line', 'target line' becomes 'target-line'. |

| If the OP was to give an example of input and expected output we may be able to offer some guidance rather than guesses. |
