EOF


output file:

xxxxxx

1xxxxxx
xxxxx

What should be the starting and end position (length) for "the end of file"?

Hi Anuj,

sorry 'end of file' word is not present in the file. it means at the ending of the file.

Okay, what is LRECL and RECFM of the file?

Also something does not match up here. Per the input and rules you give the output from this input:
Code:
xxxxxx
1xxxxxx
xxxxx
1xxxx
xxxxx
should be:
Code:
**********
1xxxxxx
**********
1xxxx
xxxxx
and not what you show. Also, I've assumed the "*"s in your called comment-line should be equal to the LRECL, which in my example is 10.

You should know that is improper to post the same question on different forums
even more improper when the two forums are related and the people providing answers are mostly the same

posting twice will not get You more answers or the same answers in a shorter time ...
it will just irritate people icon_evil.gif

Hi Anuj,
LRECL =80 and RECFM = FB
the comment line length also 80. My comment line should not delete the
existing line only insert.

Hi Gerry,
is it possible to insert the comment line from the second time onwards.
I mean when it serach '1' at first time, comment line insertion is not needed from second time onwards it shoud be inserted.

Yes possible, push the sequence no when you find the '1'
Code:
PUSH=(81:SEQNUM,1,ZD)


then use the

Code:
OMIT COND=(1,1,ZD,EQ,C'1')


Hope it helps

Hi Gerry,
small doubt suppose the input file LREC is not fixed to 80 and eachtime it is varying. so in this case is there any way to read the LREC of input file dynamically and passing to sort card.



Thanks,
Vinod.
