Hello Nidhi,

Welcome to the forum :-)
It can be done by various meathod. Would you kindly provide the tool or utility you want to use and Record length and format for input.

Hello Ekta, Thanks for welcome and quick reply.

Please could you have a look to below problem?

I have a dataset ‘userid.BOND007’ which contains the text:
Columns 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
T h e N a m e I s B o n d

Copy the data into a new sequential dataset called ‘userid.BOND007.REPHRASE” but, the text should read as

“BOND IS THE NAME”
in the new dataset

Your help is appreciated.

Nidhi

How is your result the reverse of the input?

First off I can not tell if you actually have spaces bewteen the 'words'

If there is not spaces, then the reverse of:

THENAMEISBOND is DNOBSIEMANEHT

If there is spaces and you just want to reverse the words:
THE NAME IS BOND becomes BOND IS NAME THE

The result is never what you were looking for.
