Hi,
I've a simple query regd Redefine and intialize verbs.
This is the working storage.
| Code: |
01 ws-n.
03 ws-a pic X(10).
03 FILLER PIC X(1) VALUE ','.
03 WS-B PIC X(3).
01 WS-Z REDEFINES WS-N.
03 WS-ZA PIC X(14).
|
In my code i gave a statement "MOVE SPACES TO WS-ZA" and wrote a blank record into the output file.
Now i've to move WS-N record to output with FILLER VALUE ',' for creating a csv file. But the filler has got overwritten with SPACES due to previous statement.
INITIALIZE WS-N also may not work as it can't initialize FILLER to its default values.
In this case, what should i write to get FILLER ',' in my output inspite of moving SPACES to redefine storage ??
ps: this is a sample working storage. my actual code has many csv columns. So i need to retain all the ',' while writing to output. |

| Why are you using REDEFINES here? |

Well, the redefines structure is actually trailer record layout for my file.
and the WS-N is data layout. So I'm using same copybook for creating data + trailer for my file.
Also the Redefine will have a different layout from the main data layout.
Using redefine simplifies my code alot. So it's present!! |

No.
There is nothing about a copybook which prevents you having multiple 01s in it.
There is nothing about a copybook or an 01 that prevents you having multiple group definitions which define what will be different records on your output file.
There is nothing about a copybook or an 01 that prevents you using different definitions.
I can't imagine what code you have which allows that REDEFINES to simplify it.
Even if you have simplified it, which I doubt, your code does not work, so it can't really be counted as simplification anyway.
When you get to "I've messed it up, the way I've defined the data prevents me getting the result I want (in a simple way)" then you think again about your data-definitions, you don't just try to hack in something else to make it "work" - until someone comes to change something without the expectation of obfuscation. |

| Why do you need a redefine at first place ? Also WS-Z is already point in to WS-N address so you can simply populate all 03 level variable individually from WS-N and then write it to the file. I hope am getting you right here. |

the TS mentioned INITIALIZE.
When you INITIALIZE an area,
numeric values receive zeroes
x type receive spaces.
FILLER items are not modified.
if you move spaces to the area, the FILLER items are populated by spaces.
any further INITIALIZE activity, again does not include the FILLER items.
what ever is in the FILLER item, remains.
INITIALIZE on the area will not populate the ',' character in a FILLER item. |

To populate your output CSV file with a delimeter, you can use something like the following:
| Code: |
* | PROCESS: |
* | THIS PROGRAM CREATES A DELIMITED FILE SUITABLE FOR |
* | IMPORTING INTO A SPREADSHEET. FOR THE MOST PART, THE |
* | CHANGES NEEDED FOR CUSTOMIZING ARE IDENTIFIED BY THE |
* | INLINE COMMENTS (*>). FEW, IF ANY, CHANGES ARE |
* | REQUIRED IN THE PROCEDURE DIVISION. |

If you want headers and/or trailers, you'd need to add code for that. |
