Input:- LRECL=80,RECFM=FB

Are all these values fixed or will it vary time to time?

Ramsri,

You need to provide a full and complete explanation of your data. Also, what is the LRECL and RECFM of your output?

Hello,

Once again, you have provided far too little and expect people here to write your code for you

If you want help, you need to clearly post the "rules" for getting from the input to the output. What you have posted is some alphabet-soup that has little or no meaning to most of us. You might understand what you are working with but we cannot.

Unless you provide proper info, this topic will be locked/deleted.

Hopefully, no one else will waste time on this . . .

Perhaps this would be better accomplished in Easytrieve or COBOL?
In Easytrieve, use the case statement on each input field and assign to the output field accordingly.

Hello,

I suspect the "language" doesn't matter so much if the task cannot be described/explained . . .

sorry folks.....its not real situation

but an idea that I tried to work out and ended up posting here

to seek experts advice.

Even for ideas, we need to know about the data and about the rules.

If the data is known, it can be done with PARSE. If unknown, but limited, perhaps generate the PARSE. If unknown and unlimited can't reasonably be done...
