Hi

Thank you for ur reply.i think this is copying a whole from one ps to another.i want only the particular lines to be copied.

You can try FILEAID copy which has lot of options in this you can specify the starting line number from which the records should be copied, how many lines to skip etc.

Sudha,
U can do this via JCL , but u need to know the position or the value of a record inside the input file to do this can u please clarify that.

Hi there,

I am assuming that u want to copy from 1133 to 1167( 35 bytes) to o/p
files first to 35 th position.

You can use following sort card in ur sort job
