Hi,
I am running a SQL query to pull 10 character field into a 80 LRECL dataset. It is populating 10 characters perfectly but filling rest of 70 length with low-values. I am using SORT to get rid of those low-values. Can I achieve it with SQL itself to fill rest of 70 length with spaces instead of low-values?
Please help.
Thanks. |

well, until you tell us exactly what you are doing,
we can not offer you any solutions,
and you are stuck with your sort solution - which should not be necessary. |

| What language is your query embedded in? That program is IMHO the proper place to edit the output record, not SQL or *SORT. |

Hi Ramsri...
Modify this query according to your needs...
| Code: |
SELECT SUBSTR(CHAR('COLUMN WHICH YOU WANT TO UNLOAD')||CHAR(' ',80),1,80)
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
WITH UR;

| If you absolutely have no use for the remaining 70 bytes then why dont you set the record length as 10 |

gylbharat, my field does not reside on SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1 table but in a different table.
I am asked to use a 80 byte dataset but just (low-values) should not appear after first 10 bytes is the requirement.
Thanks. |

It would be really difficult to change the table name to the correct one. |

ramsri,
if this a SPUFI select?, is this an unload? is this imbedded SQL?
until you tell us which process you are using to generate the output,
you will get nothing but silly answers, as the above post prove. |

Hi...
You just need to change the table name and the column name... |
