You are making a statement, and we do not know what you want to do unless you tell us.
If the eight byte field occurs 15 times, then shouldn't you want to add 120 bytes to the record rather than 8 ??? |

thanks for the reply,
ya i'm adding 120 bytes ......
can anyone tell me the technique to do it?
e.g (old layout)
01 record.
05 key.
10 key1 pic 9(10).
10 key2 occurs 15 times.
15 code pic x(04).
10 key3 pic 9(10).
(new layout which i need)
01 record.
05 key.
10 key1 pic 9(10).
10 key2 occurs 15 times.
15 code pic x(04).
15 extra pic 9(08).
10 key3 pic 9(10). |

Hello,
Define an "old" fd and a "new" fd (using the record layouts you've already posted).
Read the old format and write the new format.
That should do it. . .
If i've misunderstood, please clarify. |

Just maybe, if you supplied what you are asked to supply, rather than sitting back and waiting for us to guess your VSAM definition we might actually get somewhere towards solving your problem.
In fact I am guessing right now that what you want is to define the correct VSAM file for your new file layout. |

Hello,
Did you not post the "old" and "new" file layouts?
Do you not need to copy from one to the other?

Well, it was an answer to what you posted. . .
Which part of read one and copy to the other does not meet your need?
You probably have (in your own mind) a clear idea of what you want, but you have done little to explain it to the forum. Due to the high number of people who read these topics, i'm sure some will actually guess just what you meant, but that will not be due to a proper problem definition.
As i mentioned, i might not understand what you are asking, but the answer given goes with what you asked.
If you take a bit of time and better present your requirement, you will probably get replies more to your liking. |

Learning to have a technical discussion in other than one's primary language can be quite frustrating, but i believe you will find it very valuable.
Good luck
