Need a logic, where the variable should be mapped

Hi all

I have a file like this

Hello,

Until you actually provide something useful, no one should try. . . If i see "stuff" and you have not yet provided some explanation of what you are trying to do, it will probably be deleted.

You need to post the rules for getting from your input to your output. Sample data is needed, but so is an explanation of the "rules". People should not need to guess at what you want.

What do you mean by "variable"? What is "the same key record"?

Is there some reason that after being here more than a year, you do not use the Code tag to make your posts more readable?

it does not seem overly complicated to me ...

given that the input record is key+data
the output record content looks like key+data+data+data

obviously as usual the issue is badly described
( what if there are 20000 records with the same key and the data concatenation overflows the record length )

Perhaps if you might just decide to describe the rules of what needs to happen to get the output from the input as there is no corealation between input to output we can all sit here taking wild guesses and waste everybodies time.

Unless you can be bothered to help others help you then don't be surprised if you get very little help.

I believe, comrade, that Dr. Sorichetti successfully deduced your desires and gave you the pseudo-code. I believe that you are also well aware of what will happen if you demand that the COBOL be written for you.

I guess that if the CHE could read the TS posts he would madly turn himself in his grave

Hello,

And is still not willing to use the code tag. . .

I'm tempted to just delete the entire topic. . .

If people are unwilling/unable to describe the rules and post their data properly, maybe we don't need the topic. . .

Thoughts - suggestions?

probably the TS is a bit masochist who likes to bashed

small correction to the pseudo code posted :
key = ws-key + ws-field1
does not change the overall logic, just the building of the rec_key/out_key

@ Akatsukami ..You are right actually i added my second post before i read Enrico's reply Thanks Enrico

@Bill..yes its Che

Great - now there are "Code" tags, but they are not aligned. . .

Oh, well. . .

my bad, it was just a very quick and very dirty post edit
( most probably irrelevant for the overall logic )

Requirement should have been posted correctly.
