What does having a copy book matter? If you are not writing a program to do this, the copy book won't be needed and if you are writing a program to do this then why are you posting on this forum?
Are you wanting to preserve the spacing or can columns 3 to 15 from the input file become columns 1 to 13 of the output file?
If you want to preserve spacing, what do you want in the columns not being copied -- spaces? zeroes? some specific hexadecimal value?
What have you tried already? This can be done using SORT or IEBGENER; have you read the manual about them? |
