Hi,

I have a header and I want to add +3 in cycle number.

E.g. H5444 where "5444" is the cycle number.

I want to make it "5447". Is there any utility that can give me desired result.

Also, that cycle number is required to be populated in multiple places in same header record.

Thanks,
Priyanka

As you have posted in the JCL forum, we can only assume that your product is SYNCSORT.

From the information you have bothered to give us there is not much that is useful to helping anyone suggest a solution.

1) RECFM & LRECL of the input file
2) Positions of the occurrences of this particular value.

How are we supposed to know those multiple positions?

Suggest you show some sample header record and the expected output from that. Some one would be around witha helping note if that can be done using sort.

And which sort product do you use?

Ho hummmmmmmmmmm. Which sort product do you have installed at your site. It is no good whatsoever getting a CA-SORT solution for the DFSORT product.

The solution will vary from product to product, so this is why we need to know which product YOU will be executing to ensure that the solution offered is correct icon_evil.gif

Hi,

what happens when the header cycle number is 9997 and you add 3 to it ?

will it be 10000 or 0000 and what happens to the extra byte ?

Just a suggestion...If you already have such a logic/program in place, why not just modify the program itself to add 1 at multple places in the header. Anyways, when "counter" is set back to 0001 it would be set at multple places so your program already know those places where you need to update...
